“…A survey by ActionAid found that 69% of girls reported being harassed on the way to school (Karim 2007), while UNICEF (2020) reports that Bangladesh has the fourth highest rate of child marriage globally. More generally, dropout (whether from primary or secondary school) is driven by vulnerabilities such as poverty, gender discrimination, disability status, ethnic background, and living in areas that are hard to reach (Sarker et al 2019).…”

Bangladesh has made progress in advancing adolescent girls’ education, but there remain substantial evidence gaps around age and gender differences in motivations, retention, and access to education for adolescents living in urban slums. This article draws on quantitative and qualitative data collected in 2017 and 2018 by Gender and Adolescence: Global Evidence (GAGE) with adolescents aged 10–17 across three low-income areas in Dhaka to explore adolescent educational attainment, aspirations, and environmental factors that constrain both. We find high educational and professional aspirations among adolescents and their parents, with parental support being an important predictor of both current enrolment and adolescent aspirations. Location is also an important predictor of adolescent aspirations and enrolment, highlighting the importance of infrastructure and services, integration into the city, and stability of the community (including schools and facilities), along with higher incomes and better employment opportunities for households.

Lokasi penelitian di Desa Pangeranan, Bangkalan-Madura. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui wawancara mendalam dengan informan yaitu orang tua dan anak putus sekolah. Analisis data dilakukan melalui metode induktif dengan menitikberatkan pada teori atau konsep investasi sumber daya manusia dan pengambilan keputusan. Temuan penelitian ini mengidentifikasi bahwa terdapat faktor yang kuat dalam keputusan putus sekolah yaitu faktor internal dan eksternal. Temuan lainnya adalah putus sekolah berdampak pada perolehan pekerjaan dan upah yang rendah. Di masa depan resiko berkarir, karena bagi mereka yang terpenting adalah mendapatkan pekerjaan, sekecil apapun gajinya. Maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa kegagalan investasi pendidikan pada anak putus sekolah termasuk risiko pekerjaan di masa depan. Saran dari dinas pendidikan adalah untuk lebih menindaklanjuti fenomena siswa putus sekolah dengan melakukan pemantauan secara rutin di setiap sekolah serta mensosialisasikan pentingnya pendidikan dan memberikan pemahaman kepada masyarakat Desa Pangeranan.

“…Limited access to puberty information and school environments that are not supportive of the menstruation-related needs of students may hamper girls’ school attendance and academic performance, contributing to attrition that can result in early marriage, adolescent early pregnancy and multiple associated negative health and economic impacts [ 8–12 ]. Schools play an important role in disseminating health information where a large number of children are easily reached at once [ 13 , 14 ]. In recent years, menstrual hygiene management programs have been implemented in schools in many LMICs, predominantly driven by the water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) sector [ 15 ].…”

Objective To assess the perspectives of Bangladeshi teachers on the feasibility of delivery and potential for long-term sustainability of puberty and menstruation education in urban and rural schools. Method We developed a multi-module puberty and menstrual hygiene management education curriculum that teachers piloted for six months in four urban and rural government and private schools in Bangladesh. We conducted monthly assessments during piloting, discussion for manual revision and four group discussions with 20 participating teachers to understand perceived benefits, barriers, and sustainability of puberty and menstruation education among school children. Results Teachers acknowledged the importance of school-based puberty and menstruation education to improve students’ perception and preparedness. They found that the training and instructors’ manual they received were useful tools for effectively communicating with students. Teachers noted school and community pressure to de-emphasize educational content not included on nationally standardized examinations, and insufficient time and pre-service training for teaching sensitive topics served as barriers to implementing the pilot curriculum. Conclusion Pressure from school authorities and community may hinder the successful long-term delivery of school-based puberty and menstruation education programs that are external to the national curriculum. Our findings indicate that feasibly and sustainably improving education on these topics in Bangladeshi classrooms should be achieved through 1) revision of the current national curriculum to incorporate more comprehensive puberty and menstruation information including its physiology, management, and social context, 2) adequate training and support for teachers to deliver the content, and 3) incorporation of puberty and menstruation content into students’ national examinations which may better ensure teachers are given the tools and opportunity to prioritize teaching this content.
