This document provides an overview of the education system in Bangladesh. It begins by defining education and outlining its aims and learning outcomes. Education is defined as the development and use of one's potential, rather than just acquiring a degree. The education system in Bangladesh is then described as needing structure in order to effectively teach children. Education is classified into formal and informal types. Formal education occurs in schools, while informal is self-guided learning. Functions of education include socialization and culture transmission, as well as social control and innovation. However, inequality exists in the education system due to factors like language, location, socioeconomic status, race, gender, and former department. Eliminating such inequality is needed for positive social change.
