A significant portion of Bangladeshi students are struggling in math and English due to poor foundational education in primary schools. Experts and research reports point to unskilled teachers, lack of subject-specific training, and inadequate pre-service preparation as key issues. Despite training programs, many teachers fail to apply their knowledge effectively in classrooms. Nearly a quarter of teachers remain untrained, and teacher shortages and insufficient benefits worsen the situation. Education experts stress the urgent need for quality teacher recruitment, training, and monitoring.
