Youthonomics 10 : Hosted by SANEM 2020 in Dhaka

The topic of the Youthonomics-10 is “The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on the Education Sector of Bangladesh: Challenges and Solutions”.

Youthonomics, the monthly writing competition for the youth, organized by SANEM has become a platform for young intellectuals and a safe space for discussions and debates. Through Youthonomics, SANEM encourages young writers to voice their views and opinions on socio-economic issues. The winners of this competition are awarded prize money and certificates. SANEM believes that engaging the youth in an intellectual and academic discussion is essential for developing a more informed and rational society.

As the ongoing pandemic has forced people into their homes, online education is gaining popularity around the world. The idea of continuing educational activities without violating health protocols has been well received by both educators and students. However, this is not the situation in countries like Bangladesh, where socio-economic reality creates obstacles for both educators and their pupils in pursuing such technological ventures. This unwilling inability to adapt to this new scenario entails uncertainty for all concerned quarters and raises questions regarding the educational policy to be pursued in the post-pandemic period. These questions involve a wide range of issues, from maintaining health protocols to smooth and fast completion of semesters. Youthonomics-10 invites its writers, who are all students, to share their thoughts, views, and suggestions on the upcoming challenges to be faced by the educational sector of Bangladesh.
