The Spread of Primary Education: A Study of Problems and Prospects in the Garo Community of Mymensingh District.

Abstract

This thesis contains a study of Problems and Prospects of Primary Education among the Garos in Mymensingh District. The Garos are an aboriginal hill tribe of Mongoloid blood and the inhabitants of the places in and around the Garo hills in the Mymensingh district of Bangladesh. Hills and forest, streams and torrents, springs and swamps, are the salient features of the Garo environment. The group which settled on and around the Garo hills was recognized as the Garos and that is why we find Garo settlements in the Districts of Mymensingh, Netrokona and Sylhet. As they are the part and parcel of our population so without their development it is impossible to progress. That is why they need proper education, because education is the key to all success and all the obstacles to life can remove in the light of education. As Primary Education is the foundation of education so at first Primary education related Problems should be finding out of the Garo Community and these problems should be solved for their better life. The main objective of Primary education is to help children developing this social sense, good manners and fair attitude towards family and society. The socio­economic condition of the Garo Community of Bangladesh is miserable. Socio-economic condition plays a vital role in the field of education in Primary as well as at all levels of education systems. I believe this thesis will help to find out the educational Problems of Garo Community and help to contribute them to the development of the country.
