Abstract

This study examines the quality of education in Bangladesh, highlighting its critical role in social development. Despite achieving a 110.48%, enrollment rate at the primary level by FY22, significant challenges persist, including educational inequality and systemic issues. Using a qualitative research approach, the study collected data through in-depth interviews with students, teachers, and professionals from academic institutions and educational organizations in Dhaka City. The findings reveal that 97% of pre-primary and primary students face overcrowded classrooms, while access to qualified teachers remains inadequate. The research applies sociological perspectives, particularly symbolic interactionism, to analyze the relationship between education and societal structures. It emphasizes that educational reforms must address inequality and improve teaching practices to prepare students for future challenges. A well-planned and inclusive education system is essential to transforming education into a pathway for sustainable social development in Bangladesh.
