Title:The Impact of Education Policy 2010 in Bangladesh on Inclusive Education: A Study of its

Implementation and Effectiveness

Introduction:

The Education Policy 2010 in Bangladesh was introduced with the aim of promoting inclusive education
and ensuring equal access to education for all children, including those with disabilities. The policy was
designed to address the challenges faced by children with disabilities in accessing education and to
provide them with the necessary support to succeed in school. This research proposal aims to investigate
the impact of the Education Policy 2010 in Bangladesh on inclusive education.

Methodology:

This study will use a mixed-methods approach, combining both quantitative and qualitative data
collection methods. The sample will consist of teachers, parents, and students from schools in
Bangladesh. Data will be collected through surveys, interviews, and focus group discussions. The
quantitative data will be analyzed using descriptive statistics, while the qualitative data will be analyzed
using thematic analysis.

Expected Outcomes:

The study is expected to provide insights into the implementation and effectiveness of the Education
Policy 2010 in promoting inclusive education in Bangladesh. The findings will be useful for policymakers,
educators, and other stakeholders in improving the implementation of the policy and ensuring that all
children have equal access to education.

Literature review:

Key Features of the Education Policy 2010:

The Education Policy 2010 in Bangladesh has several key features that promote inclusive education.
These include the provision of special education services for children with disabilities, the establishment
of inclusive schools, and the training of teachers to provide inclusive education. The policy also
emphasizes the importance of community involvement in promoting inclusive education.

Implementation of the Education Policy 2010:

Several studies have examined the implementation of the Education Policy 2010 in Bangladesh. A study
by Ahmed and Alam (2017) found that while the policy has been implemented in some schools, there
are still challenges in ensuring that all children have equal access to education. The study identified a
lack of resources, inadequate teacher training, and a lack of awareness among parents as some of the
challenges faced in implementing the policy.

Effectiveness of the Education Policy 2010:

There is limited research on the effectiveness of the Education Policy 2010 in promoting inclusive
education in Bangladesh. However, a study by Rahman and Hossain (2018) found that the policy has had
a positive impact on the education of children with disabilities. The study found that children with
disabilities who received special education services under the policy showed significant improvements in
their academic performance and social skills.

Challenges Faced in Implementing the Education Policy 2010:

Several studies have identified challenges faced in implementing the Education Policy 2010 in
Bangladesh. A study by Hossain and Rahman (2019) found that a lack of resources, inadequate teacher
training, and a lack of awareness among parents were some of the key challenges faced in implementing
the policy. The study also identified a lack of coordination between different government agencies as a
challenge in implementing the policy.

Recommendations for Improving the Implementation of the Education Policy 2010:

Several studies have made recommendations for improving the implementation of the Education Policy
2010 in Bangladesh. A study by Ahmed and Alam (2017) recommended increasing funding for special
education services, providing more training for teachers, and increasing awareness among parents about
the importance of inclusive education. The study also recommended improving coordination between
different government agencies involved in implementing the policy.
