Author : Joyrul Islam Choudhury
Abstract :
The abstract of the document provides a comprehensive analysis of the quality, accessibility, and socioeconomic implications of government and private schools in Barak Valley. The research methodology employs a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative and qualitative methods to gain a nuanced understanding of school choice in the region. The literature review highlights varying perspectives on the education system, with studies showing disparities in favour of private schools in terms of curriculum standards, pedagogical methods, and student performance. However, it is argued that government schools can provide quality education with adequate resources and effective teacher training. The unique geographic and demographic characteristics of Barak Valley pose challenges to school accessibility. The study aims to investigate the impact of involving parents, community members, and local organisations in enhancing the educational experience. It also examines the geographical distribution of educational resources and opportunities within Barak Valley and analyses the existing educational policies and their implications. The research design acknowledges certain limitations, such as sampling constraints, which may affect the generalisability of findings beyond Barak Valley. Ethical considerations, such as informed consent and confidentiality, will be adhered to throughout the research process. The study concludes by emphasising the need for informed decision-making, collaborative efforts, and inclusive policies to prioritize quality, accessibility, and inclusivity in the education system. Suggestions for future research are also provided based on the study's findings.
