Abstract: Abstract This chapter explores the state of education of Bangladesh in comparison with other countries. It finds that education system has failed to achieve desired results in terms of creating skilled workforce, fostering innovation and building citizenships despite an increase in rates of enrolment and literacy. It also reveals that public spending in education has remained meagre compared to neighbouring and other countries, which is also failing a significant majority of the population, who are poverty-stricken and marginalised. The analysis dissects the education expenditure in different stages of education in the country and its inefficacy in producing skilled workers.
