Technology In Education In Bangladesh

Technology specially Internet can play a very big role in Education sector in Bangladesh. There is big difference in standard of education in schools in cities and schools in villages or rural areas. It is unrealistic to expect that the government of Bangladesh will minimize that discrepancy through improving the infrastructures and providing better resources - at least this is not happening in next few decades. Well, sorry - this is the way I see it. In this era of information technology we can definitely come up with a much cheaper solution which is not only easy to implement but also will be out of reach of dirty bureaucracy of our country. The current solution to eliminate the gap of standard between the educational institutes in cities and villages are using the online resources. The main or basic idea is making the education resources available online and so that any one with access Internet can access that resource. I expect that in very short time Internet will be as ubiquitous as cell phones today. As smart phones are getting cheaper, more powerful and Internet enabled, it can be said that it will be very easy for the students of Bangladesh to adopt the online education.
