Abstract:

This research examines how education plays a vital role in the economic development of the region, the poverty alleviation process, and income distribution in Bangladesh. The affirmative processes of the government to enhance the literacy level and accessibility of education in the country have enhanced economic development. Education is positively and significantly related to the overall development with focus on GDP progress, employment opportunities and eradicating poverty, and therefore, there is a need for policy intervention to address these gaps. The situation in Dhaka and Chattogram sheds light on the fact that industrial zones where education is well-developed have higher wages and better economic outcomes. The Human Capital Theory which further has been backed by capability approach provides a theory that education brings a long-term gain in people’s capital. Moreover, enhancing the quality of higher education, and utilizing digital learning are some of the essential features to sustain. A number of factors such as; financial constraints that affect majority of the families due to poverty are major drawbacks towards the enhancement of education. These issues can be solved with the help of such measures as increasing financial resources, cooperation with the private sector, and proper changes in the legislation to improve educational process and economic development. The result shows about the obstacles faced and also how the government policies help with the education in the region.
