North-East pins hope on free trade with Bangladesh to boost its economy

[UKBengali]

Major Zia destroyed the education system bequeathed by the British and Ayub Khan.

The idiot Zia - flooded the country with Wahhabi Madrasas. About 80% of people attended those backward places in the 80s and 90s - brainwashed and without any skills.

Therefore, we now have a huge skills shortage and having to fill mid level management roles with illegal Indians.

Idiot Zia and his murderer Ershad - set our country back by 100 years.

Hasina is heroically trying to reverse the Wahhabi tide.

The quality of English of the Bangladeshi PDF posters and BAL ministers is embarrassing!

No international blue chip company is going to employ you into management roles!!!

Dhakaya universities rank at the bottom of all international rankings!

Shame! Shame! More shame!

Huge progress has already been made as BD is ranked No. 1 in the region in the quality of its secondary education.

It will take another 15-20 years before BD universities can compete with the Indian ones.


Things like education takes decades to build up and so we should be patient as BD is heading the right way.

Buddy!

I go to India and BD regularly.

I hire Indian grads for a living.

Most high school kids in India speak decent English. Bangladeshi kids cannot. They are still stuck in Dhakaya language of Akdoom Bakdoom gorar dim.

Idiots like Jasim Uddin and Humayun Ahmad need to be removed from the curriculum and replaced by Austen, Byron et al

Otherwise illegal Indians will keep taking mid level management jobs!

When it comes to tertiary education - Bangladeshis, at least those from the best universities from Bangladesh are doing well despite the limitations. You will find Bangladeshis having graduated from Bangladeshi universities working in mid to senior level positions in top global companies. We are where Indians were in the 90s. We are still not in a position where we will see Bangladeshis leading a global organization.

The reason Bangladeshi universities are never ranked in any listing is lack of research. There are simply not enough publications coming out of these institutes. But when it comes to curriculum and setting up students for the corporate world, "Top" Bangladeshi institutes are not too far behind compared to North American universities. I don't know about Europe. Unfortunately though, we only have a handful of these institutes.

Indians have a number of factors which they utilized to their advantage to be in the position they are now in the Western corporate world. First they have the number advantage which translates to a larger representation. And they also help each other to get into the organization. Even though not always that is for the best interest of the organization. They have better English curriculum at school level, which leads to a better command over English.

In the 90s, Indian secondary schools were miles ahead of Bangladesh with their emphasis on coding and IT education. That gap has now narrowed with Bangladeshi schools, at least the ones in Dhaka, following the same route. However, it is still not widespread across the country and will take time.

Clearly you need to venture out of Sylhet.

FYI - Bangladeshi English medium schools all follow British Curriculum and kids do have to go through English literature. But that doesn't mean you completely disregard your own language and culture.

As I said before - your knowledge of Bangladesh is rudimentary.

Ppl isn't that mainly attendance? For the ppls at lower end of education has obviously gotten much better than most parts of S.asia. for most of these ppls/students they will not pursue Ed after secondary also they will *NOT* be looking to go into professional fields.

They're main priority will be quick and easy money.

Which is good in a as we need to ppl at the lower end to fill our industries. However we also need to think about middle and upper middle .

Dude!

I grew up in U.K. I am a third generation British Sylheti

I do not claim to be an expert on BD. But I do visit regularly.

I rely on @UKBengali and @EasyNow for that.

@Bilal9 also has very good knowledge of BD infra and commerce. Unfortunately, sometimes he goes rogue with paranoia and turns people off.

Btw, I was once given a 1:1 tour of a mill in Tangail thanks to a high up family friend.

So, I do know a bit!

Dhaka undoubtedly has some decent schools by BD standards.

But Dhakaya people extrapolate that across the country.

Dhaka is not BD!!!

Like I say we need to give BD another 15-20 years before it has a good higher education system.

Thousands of bright BD’shi students are enrolling in top universities in the West now and they will one day go back and take their skills and knowledge to BD.

We need to be realistic as BD started from almost zero in 1971.

 

[Bilal9]

Some how I do think this guy has ulterior motives and a little suspect. He want to replace higher Ed staff with Indian Ed staff? It known once a group can brain wash and alter their the upper and middle educated class then they control you.


He's either using something for his past times or he is very suspect. Yes, no country is entirely self sufficient, even the mighty USA wasn't even at it ls mightiest.


Bdesh has the chance to become regional industrial power house.

Whatever plans he has for his fake Sylheti account, his time is up.

He has been 'outed' for better or worse - and I say that on a non-ghey sense.

Just 'ignore' his account - I have.

No time available responding to his garbage....

Fair enough. But since that is the case, kindly refrain from making blanket statement about Bangladesh which are far removed from reality.

My opinion about Bangladesh’s education is based on first hand experience.

Thanks to family connections I regularly interact with so-called English professors who cannot string a sentence together.

Know 2-3 doctors who came over here on spousal visas. None of them have been able to secure a job as a doctor.

However, know many Indian doctors who were able to secure jobs after sitting few exams.

We have British educated doctors in my immediate family - so we keep a close eye on the medical profession.

All I hear is boast from Dhakaya people - but they are useless in practice!!!

That can be said about alot of foreign Dr's. Even in some part of Europe they additional training for UK industry.


How much do the bdeshi Dr's need of additional training?

Indian and east European doctors need to sit a few exams. Almost all pass them.

Hurdle is much bigger for Bangladeshi doctors and almost none succeed.

Most end up working as lab technicians or dieticians.

Are talking we talking yrs of training of ten of thousands of pounds?

Both in Bangladeshi doctors’ case.

I think you hit the nail right on the head.

These people here advocating CONVENIENT Bangladeshi industrialization prescriptions to preserve and help INDIAN INDUSTRY and EXPORTS TO BANGLADESH.

They are fifth columnists or false flagger Indians themselves who have little idea about the ACTUAL commercial and industrial scenario in Bangladesh.

Their prescriptions are supposed to help India remain a strategic industrial supplier to Bangladesh for the longer term and will only help Indian economy.

A nation of 170 Million (half the population of the United States) can certainly do better, even if we are a third or second world country. We have the size and chops of market strength and we can supply it internally - instead of allowing free flow of high/medium/low value addition Indian goods (sans tariff), like these jokers suggest.

We should selectively block Indian imports like light and heavy commercial vehicles as our market size/sophistication increases, and not be a convenient open market for these Indian products - like these Indians are suggesting.

Bangladesh will not be a den of producing low value addition items forever, that is already changing.

Garments will keep being a staple export item. But like China, we will be going into at least medium value addition items like motorcycle manufacturing and export - as well as going into maybe small three and four wheeler mini-truck assembly/export with CKD kits from China, this is already happening locally with import substitution. The problem is - low or no Bangladeshi tariffs on Indian imports in this sector (like in many other sectors) make it unprofitable to do this while Indians dump their excess production in our market.

Once tariffs on Indian imports are applied (like Indians apply tariff on our products, unlike China) then many more local investors will jump into local Bangladeshi assembly and manufacture of these medium-value-addition products.

Electronic appliances and things like laptops and tablets will go into higher sophistication products for at least internal supply and import substitution, Walton is just a start. Indians cannot compete with our products here.

What we ACTUALLY NEED TO DO FOR STARTERS is TARIFF THE HECK OUT OF INDIAN AUTO and HCV/LCV (Heavy and Light Commercial Vehicle) parts/assemblies and go into assembling our HCV/LCV's from Chinese or other non-Indian CKD kits. These Indians had free rein to sell their products in Bangladesh without tariff for too long thanks to AL support and their RAW agent INDIA-SHILL commerce ministry fifth columnists.

Sheyaler kacche Murgi dewar shamil.

Most Indian HCV/LCV suppliers are also military item suppliers to their ARMY, NAVY and AIR FORCE. On principle we should not support their exports in our market.

We should increase Tariffs on Indian trucks and buses (and their CKD kits) and become least dependent on any medium and high sophistication Indian product while they needlessly block our exports to their market on flimsy NTB pretexts. They know their business people cannot compete with our Bangladeshi exports to their market, so they place tariffs and NTB's ON EVERY SINGLE BANGLADESHI EXPORT.

Two can play at this game. First thing we need to do is remove this fifth columnist RAW agent commerce minister Tipu Munshi and his assistant Tapan Kanti Majumdar.

This bhakt Tipu Munshi is in India to negotiate "A planned CEPA with Bangladesh (which) could double India’s exports to its neighbouring country to over $32 billion."

Now I ASK you Bangladeshis - who does this idiot work for, Indians or us ? Indian Banyas are already licking their dirty chops at the prospects of minting money from Bangladesh. If Indians flood our markets, like this idiot commerce minister is allowing, how can we grow our own industry ??

If we give away $32 Billion every year to India (in addition to employing their people locally as India's 3rd/4th largest remitter) how will we keep any money in-house for our own development ??

How long can we keep Indian economy running at the expense of our own development, thanks to Awami League?

Bangladesh is becoming the 9th largest consumer market by 2030.

Tourism boom in Bangladesh.

I'm interested in nice beaches. Surf worthy water is a plus

defence.pk

Who will supply this market ? India or us ??

We don't have to follow India-supplied prescriptions for developing our industry. We will (and are) looking to the East and integrating our economy with ASEAN countries (and most importantly - China) which these Indians themselves admit.

I will reply to their rants and de-confuse their serpentine arguments when I have a bit more time.

There is this one dude who is always spouting theories more like regurgitating theories, these guys are like the forever "junior analyst" , will never make it to the senior analyst league.
He is always saying Bangladesh will be something someday which is very curiously an Indian specialty !
