INTRODUCTION:

Higher education is the catalyst for economic growth and poverty reduction. To meet the

globalization challenges raising higher education quality to the world standard is essential.

Bangladesh Govt. has taken initiatives to develop the quality of tertiary education. Govt. plans to

prepare university graduates in such way that they can successfully compete in the context of

international knowledge society. Accordingly, the Ministry of Education, with the assistance of the

World Bank, has undertaken a Higher Education Quality Enhancement Project (HEQEP). The project

aims at improving the quality of teaching-learning and research capabilities of the tertiary education

institutions through encouraging both innovation and accountability and by enhancing the technical

and institutional capacity of the higher education sector. The University Grants Commission of

Bangladesh is the implementing agency of the project. A HEQEP Unit has been established in UGC for

implementation, management, monitoring and evaluation of the activities. (http://www.heqep-

ugc.gov.bd/)

One of the rationales for World Bank’s involvement in the sector and for the original project

was to build upon the success of the past decades in primary and secondary education, and

to start addressing the many weaknesses plaguing higher education identified in

Bangladesh’s Higher Education Strategic Plan 2006-2026. The Project was viewed as the first

operation of a long-term, phased program of support aimed at improving the quality and

relevance of the sector. Higher Education is an integral part of the strategy to increase

transformative investment and enhance the business environment and this strategy

constitutes thethirdpillar of Bank’s FY11-14 Country Assistance Strategy. The Education

Policy 2010 and Sixth Five Year Plan (2011-15) haveplaced emphases on creating a

knowledge society through providing better skill to the graduates of tertiary education. The

original IDA credit amount for Higher Education Quality Enhancement Project (HEQEP) was

approved on March 17, 2009 and became effective on May 13, 2009. The Project

Development Objective (PDO) is to improve the quality and relevance of the teaching and

research environment in higher education institutions through encouraging both innovation

and accountability within universities and by enhancing the technical and institutional

capacity of the higher education sector. The progress towards achieving the PDO has

continued to remain Satisfactory since the last Implementation Support Mission in April

2013. Pace of implementation has accelerated and the project continues to show strong

evidence of progress against project outcomes and intermediate results indicators, inter alia:

(i) increased satisfaction in all key stakeholders (students, faculty, and employers) based on

mid-term satisfaction surveys completed in June 2013; (ii) accelerated fund utilization by the

sub-projects under the AIF resulting from increased on-time technical assistance and training

provided by University Grants Commission (UGC) and the project unit; (iii) process for

institutionalizing the competitive funding mechanism has been carried out according to

schedule; (iv) increased access to Bangladesh Research and Education Network (BdREN) with

12 percent of students and 18 percent of faculty members having access (compared to 0% at

baseline); (v) target of the Key Performance Indicators related to BdREN are likely to be

achieved by the end of December 2013; and (vi) digital library has been established and fully

operational in 34 universities (TOR)

The key reforms that are being implemented under the project are: (a) establishing enabling

conditions to enhance the quality and relevance of teaching, learning and research in

universities; (b) introducing an efficient instrument for the allocation of additional public

funds to universities with an emphasis on innovation and accountability (Academic

Innovation Fund, AIF); (c) reinforcing the strategic and institutional capacity of the sector

both at the central and Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) level; (d) establishing a high

performance BdREN and digital library which will link faculty and students of Bangladesh to

the global academic community and learning resources; and (e) developing a national level

Higher Education Management Information System (HEMIS) to support planning, monitoring

and evaluation of the performance of the sector. The rationale for the proposed AF is to

build on the successful implementation of reforms under the original project mentioned

above. Specifically, it will expand the successful reforms in the areas of quality

enhancement of tertiary education, research and innovation, and governance and

management in which the Bank has a vast and in-depth experience. For quality

enhancement, the AF will support the establishment of the quality assurance mechanisms at

of 80

both national and institutional levels. The AIF will continue to aim, through the distinct four

windows, deepening reforms in a number of areas (i.e. improved teaching and learning,

enhanced employability of graduates through market relevant research and programs,

innovation through stronger university-industry linkages and commercialization of research;

improved transparency and accountability in the use of public funds, and improved

management and implementation of activities).

The following components/activities will be financed with additional financing of US$110

million: (i) Component 1: Promoting Academic Innovation; (ii) Component 2: Building

Institutional Capacity of Tertiary Education Sector; (iii) Component 3: Raising the

Connectivity Capacity in the Higher Education Sector (BdREN& Digital Library); (iv)

Component 4: Establishment of Quality Assurance (QA) Mechanism; and (v) Component 5:

Project Management and Monitoring and Evaluation.

The World Bank has two social safeguards policies – OP 4.12 Involuntary Resettlement and

OP 4.10 Indigenous People. The originalproject did not trigger either of the policies. Since

the AF will not undertake any activities that require land acquisition or the displacement of

people (with or without title) from private or public lands, or any adverse impact on

livelihoods, OP 4.12 will not be triggered for this phase of the project either. However, as the

current project will work in Universities that may be geographically placed in thewider area

of influence where tribal populations live, OP 4.10 will be triggered for this AF phase of the

project.

The purpose of this Social Assessment is to understand the impacts of the original project

and the potential impacts of the AF on tribal populations/student/faculty body. With regards

to the latter, the SMF contains in additionto the SA a Tribal Peoples Framework to provide

guidance on consultative practices with tribal teachers and students, promote inclusion and

participation, recommendations to enhance positive outcomes and mitigate for adverse

impacts, roles and responsibilities (though this is preliminary and will be finalized at a later

of 80

stage) for the implementation of the framework via site specific plans, grievance redress

procedures and monitoring and evaluation. Universities and Institutes will be screened for

the presence of tribal students and those which show a concentration will develop specific

plans for the tribal teachers and students based on the framework provided in this SMF.

METHODOLOGY:

The study makes an assessment of potential impacts of the projects on the Indigenous

Peoples and will providea framework for addressing the potential impacts if there is any.

In doing so, the study followed the following steps:

Review all relevant project documents;

Undertake a desk research of how many sub-projects under the parent project has

been working in areas where there may be relatively higher concentrations of tribal

populations;

Visit on a sample basis some Universities operating in such areas, especially

Chittagong University ;

Review the ongoing subprojects scope of work in consultation with the relevant

project officials including identifying the number of tribal and ethnic peoples

involvement as faculty member, researchers or students;

Assess whether the specific project activities have had any direct impact (positive or

negative) on tribal people, their way of life, livelihoods, cultural priorities etc.; and

Assess whether within the scope of this project there is any need to undertake

special measures for tribal students.

Due to the major concentration of the tribal people in Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT), it is likely

that CHT’s tribal students would prefer to have their higher education in the Universities and

other Academic Institutions in Chittagong. Chittagong is adjacent to the three Hill Districts

named Rangamati, Bandarban, Khgrachhari which are home to the highest number of tribal

communities. The study consulted teachers, students, administrative authorities of 3 major

of 80

Higher education providers namely Chittagong University (CU), Chittagong University of

Engineering and technology (CUET) Chittagong Veterinary and Animal Sciences University

(CVASU) situated in Chittagong.

Indigenous Peoples (IP)/ Tribal People (TP):

The International Decade of the World’s Indigenous Peoples (IP) (1995-2004) was

proclaimed by the General Assembly of the United Nations through Resolution 48/163 of

1993. Its objective was the strengthening international cooperation by contributing solutions

of the problems that affect Indigenous Peoples in areas of health, human rights,

environment, education and development. In recognition of this, the World Bank has

articulated and adopted, annex ‘C of OP 4.10’ as part of its operational policy to guarantee

the protection and involvement of indigenous peoples in all development activities which

have the likelihood of impacting on members of this group, whether as individual, groups or

communities.In 1982, the World Bank became the first multilateral financial institution to

establish a safeguards policy on Indigenous Peoples. The current Indigenous Peoples policy

(May 2005) recognizes that the distinct identities and cultures of Indigenous Peoples are

inextricably linked to the lands on which they live and the natural resources on which they

depend. The policy requires client governments to seek broad community support of

Indigenous Peoples through a process of free, prior, and informed consultation before

deciding on development projects affecting Indigenous Peoples.

Specific Funding Requirement of the World Bank’s Policy OP 4.10.

Policy document OP4.10 of the World Bank contributes to the Bank's mission of poverty

reduction and sustainable development by ensuring that any development activity and their

accompanying processes fully respects the dignity, human rights, economies, and cultures of

Indigenous Peoples. Hence, it is a requirement that all projects which are proposed for

of 80

financing by the World Bank are assessed to see whether the policy needsto be triggered

keeping in mind the geographiclocation, nature and scope of activities.

The policy requires client governments to seek broad community support of Indigenous

Peoples through a process of free, prior, and informed consultation before deciding on

development projects affecting Indigenous Peoples.The policy requires that Indigenous

Peoples benefit from the commercial development of natural resources.Project must include

measures to (a) avoid potentially adverse effects on the Indigenous Peoples’ communities;

or (b) when avoidance is not feasible, minimize, mitigate, or compensate for such effects.

Bank-financed projects are also to be designed and structured in a manner to ensure that

the Indigenous Peoples receive social and economic benefits which are culturally

appropriate and gender and intergenerationally inclusive.

Indigenous Peoples/Tribal People of Bangladesh:Other terms relating to the concept of indigenous peoples include "cultural minorities,"

"ethnic minorities," "indigenous cultural communities, "tribals," "scheduled tribes," "natives,

and "aboriginals. Accepted or preferred terms and definitions vary country by country, by

academic discipline, and even by the usage of groups concerned. In Bangladesh, IPs are often

referred to as Adibasi, small ethnic groups, ethnic communities, hill people (paharis) and

forest people. For the purposes of this document IPs will be referred to as tribal people (TPs)

as per government definition.

Bangladesh is by and large religiously, ethnically and linguistically homogeneous. Its

population is nearly 160 million (estimated 2010); it is roughly 85 percent Muslim, others are

mainly Hindu, Buddhist and Christian. More than 99 percent speak Bengali. The

overwhelming numbers of people are ethnic Bengalis although they are a mixed group

containing Aryan,Dravidian, Mongoloid and other racial traits. Despite the homogeneity of

people as a Bengalination, the Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) comprising the districts of

Rangamati, Khagrachhari and Bandarban has asignificant number of ethnic minorities (0.45

percent of the total population of Bangladesh) whobelong to the ‘mongoloid group’ and

of 80

live in a geographically compact area. The CHT is situatedin the extreme southeast of

Bangladesh, bounded on the north and northeast by the Indian stateof Mizoram and Tripura,

and on the south and southeast by Myanmar (Burma), and on the eastby the district of

Chittagong. The area is politically, strategically and economically a vital region,having

common borders with both India and Myanmar.The Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) are home to

the country’s largest concentration of tribal peoples.

The CHT is inhabited by a variety of ethnic groups popularly known in Bangladesh as ‘tribes.’

Three major tribes are the Chakma, Marma and Tripura. They constitute more than88

percent of the total number of TPs in the CHT. Other tribes are Tanchangya,

Mro,Bawm,Pankhua, Chak, Kheyang, Lushai and Khumi. The Chakmas, including

TanchangyasandMarmas, are Buddhists. The Tripuras are Hindus Hindus, although a

substantial number ofthemhave converted into Christianity in the recent decades. Earlier,

the Mros were Buddhist

Andanimists, but many now have their own religion. The Bawms, Pankhuas and Lushais

areChristians. Overall, the social and political organization, way of life, economy and culture

aremore closely linked to those of the hill people of Assam and upper Myanmar than to

thesettledwho occupy the alluvial plains of the Ganges-Brahmaputra delta, which makes up

thegreater part of Bangladesh. (ADB 2nd HT Rural Development IP Plan, March 2011).

Nearly all the indigenous peoples also include traditional indigenous elements in their formal

religious beliefs and practices.The indigenous peoples have their own languages, both in

written and oral forms. Although the languages of the Chakma and the Tangchangya have

close links with Bengali and Assamese, these languages have developed their own distinctive

identity over the centuries. The languages spoken by most of the other indigenous peoples

belong to what is known as the Tibeto-Burman family of languages. However, the Chakma

script is closer to the Khmer script than to the Burmese. The medium of instruction in

Bangladesh is the Bengali language, and there is no information available indicating any

of 80

plans to include indigenous language instruction at educational institutions.Mros had no

written language of their own, but some could read the Burmese and Bangla scripts.

There are 13 indigenous ethnic communities living in the Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) in

Bangladesh. There are approximately 600,000 indigenous people in the CHT.The primary

census report of 2011 illustrates that total ethnic population group of Bangladesh 1st is

Chakmaconsisted 4,44,748 people while the Marma, the second largest ethnic group

compares with 2,02,974 person.

Other than CHT, some other ethnic groups are inhabitants in NorthWest part of the country.

Santals are inhabitants of Rajshahi and Dinajpur. There are a few groups also in central and

Northeastern parts. Khasis, Garos, and Khajons in Mymensingh and Sylhet regions. In these

regions the tribal population is scattered and has become mixed with the mainstream

Bengali population. In Southeast there are Rakhains whose origin is Myanmar but many

currently live in Cox’sbazar.

SECTION 2:IMPACT ASSESSMENT

Reviews of the some HEQEP projects with their objectives findings and recommendations in CU, CUET, CVUAS

The following assessment of possible impacts of HEQEP projects on Indigenous People was conducted based on review of project aims and outcomes.

Project Development Objective

The proposed Project would strengthen faculties at differentPublic and Private Universities through infrastructure, automation of library facilities, research and curricular improvements through training while building the basis for improved facilities management and future.

Project Beneficiaries: The main Project beneficiaries would be the students and teachers at the public and private Universities.

The rationale for the proposed AF is to build on the successful implementation of reforms

under the original project mentioned above. Specifically, it will expand the successful

reforms in the areas of quality enhancement of tertiary education, research and innovation,

and governance and management in which the Bank has a vast and in-depth experience.

The AIF will continue to aim deepening reforms in a number of areas such as improved

teaching and learning, enhanced employability of graduates through market relevant

research and programs, innovation through stronger university-industry linkages and

commercialization of research; improved transparency and accountability in the use of

public funds, and improved management and implementation of activities).

The following components/activities will be financed with additional financing. Most of these

were funded in the round 1 which show quite positive impact on several issues.

Component 1: Promoting Academic Innovation:

HEQEP projects supported to initiate innovative teaching-learning method to enhance

students’ learning. Such as CU management department have Self-Assessment (SA) Exercise

of 80

through SWOT Model in the Department of Marketing, CU. The objectives of the project are-

(i) An analysis of the teaching-learning methods of the Marketing Department to enhance

students’ learning and provide feedback for quality assurance implementation in teaching-

learning chain management. (ii) An analysis of the curriculum in order to create highly

skilled, knowledgeable fully competent marketing graduates for meeting the requirement of

job market and knowledge economy. (iii) An analysis of student support to interact with

their teacher industry and professional leaders for better career management. (iv) An

analysis of the faculty members in order to make them updated covering technical depth

and breadth to support the program and allow the scholarly activities. (v) An analysis of the

institutional support and financial resources in order to provide an environment in which the

program can achieve its objectives and maintain its strengths. (vi) An analysis of the process

control by which major functions are delivered must be in place, controlled, periodically

reviewed, evaluated and continuously improved. (vii) An analysis of institutional academic

infrastructure i.e., offices, logistics, class rooms, seminar rooms, teaching-learning aides,

computing facilities adequately available to faculty members and students to support

teaching and learning activities for generating better access to knowledge and information

by modernizing student learning spaces as support facilities.

Component 2: Building Institutional Capacity of Tertiary Education Sector:

For institutional capacity building infrastructural facilities are provided to different

departments of several universities.

Furnishing of IT and Seminar Rooms with adequate machineries and furniture.

Purchasing of necessary reference and text books, important journals, maps, illustrated photographs and drawings, and documents

Computer lab buying- new computers, laser printer, multimedia projector, soundless generator/IPS, wireless networking, projector screen, computer tables and computer chairs.

Aerosol-Raman LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) facility in Dhaka University, to test and evaluate its performance, and to monitor atmospheric conditions by LIDAR

of 80

on a routine basis and LIBS system and to identify the sources of water and soil pollution in DU.

Building Technology & Material Research Lab (BTMRL) for Architecture department

Faculty of Biological Sciences, C.U. started in 2005 with limited physical educational

facilities. For the creation of modern central lab of the faculty for research facilities

were supported.

Special secretarial and maintenance training.

Component 3: Raising the Connectivity Capacity in the Higher Education Sector (BdREN&

Digital Library):

The projects have the vision that in the rapidly changing scenario of higher education

worldwide, with the increasing trend in education towards technical specialization,

universities now-a-days are constantly facing the challenge of providing students with a

comprehensive education. The grim reality is Bangladesh as a nation is experiencing lack of

experts in various technical fields. This situation poses challenges to institutional excellence

and sustainable national growth. The updating, automation, linking with technology under

the HEQEP projects is expected to play a role in refreshing the notion of development by

endeavoring to find the ways in which technological knowhowhas to do with broader

humanistic and social standards. This particularly has crucial relevance to the Engineering

and Technical Universities. A standard library can ensure a more meaningful exploration of

what students are dictated to learn in their curricula. At CUET, the Humanities seminar

library aimed to provide the necessary space and atmosphere for the teachers and students

for a pluralistic interaction among the various disciplines that are dealt with in the university.

Art seminar library was to add to the existing resources of the university. It also envisaged a

much improved academia in terms of accessibility to knowledge across disciplines. Eight

faculty members of The Department of Humanities represent four disciplines and offer more

than twenty distinct courses. Despite its diversity, the faculty forms a cohesive unit with a

common commitment to superb classroom instruction and to transmitting to students the

vital importance of the liberal studies portion of their education. Through the course work

of 80

and an in-depth encounter with humanities inquiry or artistic project, all students come to

appreciate the values attained through the study of Sociology, Accounting, Economics,

English and their disciplines. It was taken into consideration that resourceful human capital

is essentially a community whose education and activities will lead to ultimate prospects of

the human society. The library in this connection can play a significant role by attracting a

number of learners in such researches. (Project report: The accruement of knowledge by

setting-up a Seminar library in the Department of Humanities, Chittagong University of

Engineering and technology)

High quality graduates are produced through these projects with enhanced knowledge and

skills, who possess higher self-confidence about their competency.

HEQEP aimed to improving the quality of teaching-learning and research capabilities of the

Departments by adding more physical and academic facilities to improve quality education

and research of the Departments.

Component 4: Establishment of Quality Assurance (QA) Mechanism:

Training, workshops, research projects all ensured quality enhancement of the faculties,

students and administration people of the related departments.

Component 5: Project Management and Monitoring and Evaluation:

MME is an integral part of all the projects. All project reports included information on the

process.

The positive role of university in higher education quality enhancement is now undeniable.

Islam (2003) states that education was seen as the essential factors for rapid economic

growth and formal education was controlled by the state, as the indispensable instrument

for improving the production capacities of a population. Muzaffar& Khan (2004) opined that

higher education system needs to be flexible if they are to be the most effective. But there

was always a big gap worldwide between the quantity and quality of the state- run higher

educational institutions and the continuously rising number of admission seeking students.

As a result, most countries of the world are still facing the dilemma of having to satisfy the

need of the increased demand for education (Islam, 2003)(Project report onSelf-Assessment

(SA) Exercise through SWOT Model in the Department of Marketing, CU).

The overall student benefits of this project cannot be quantified like other commercial

projects but it is possible to assess the qualitative impact on the teaching, research and

learning.

Almost every public and private university have EEE, CSE, CS, ICT and related programs to

fulfill the national and international demand. Although embedded system course should be

integrated as an essential part of the curriculum of the programs but due to lack of skilled

human resources (teachers, researchers, technicians etc) and proper laboratory facilities,

most of the universities are facing difficulties to start the course.

The project “Train the Trainer for Nationwide Teaching and Learning in Embedded System

Design and Development” at IICT, BUET producing trained, skilled postgraduates who would

be able to contribute to other private and public universities irrespective of their ethnic and

gender background.According to the project impact outcome as an indirect impact Transfer

of Technology and Institutional Building through the project is done. Through this project,

basic training programs were arranged and advanced training program on embedded

system. The participants were the Lecturers from different public and private universities. In

this way, the knowledge and technology as well have been disseminated to them. Now good

networks are established for co-operation to each other who works in this field.

2nd round AF at Chittagong University: This round is also aiming to enhance quality education and emphasizes on building linkages, enhancing research capacities and self-assessment exercise of the programs offered to students.

SECTION 3: BENEFICIARIES OF THEHEQEP PROJECTS: CONSULTATION WITH FACULTIES, STUDENTS, MANAGEMENT

Consultation with faculties, students and management were done to assess the impact of

HEQEP projects on three Universities in Chittagong- University of Chittagong (CU), Chittagong

University of Engineering and Technology (CUET) and Chittagong Veterinary and Animal

Sciences University (CVASU)on tribal students and faculty at the institutions. These

Universities were selected as these are situated in the Port city of Chittagong which is

adjacent to Three Hill Districts of Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT)- Rangamait, Khagrachhari and

Bandarban which are home for around 13 ethnic groups,with the assumption that the Tribal/

small Ethnic community students are likely to study in these Universities. From the

consultation it is proved right. All these Universities have Tribal students but mostly Major

ethnic groups of Chakma and then Marma.

Prof. Dr. Md. Nural Anwar, Faculty of Biological Sciences, University of Chittagong, Project:

Development of the Central Research Laboratory of the Faculty of Biological Sciences and

Enrichment of the Teaching Capacity and Quality Research. [HEQEP (CP-162)]

This project provided a scientific lab for the students of biological sciences, for the Master,

MPhil, PhD levels research. Only the top most students get the opportunity to conduct

specialized research under their supervisors. There is no restriction on any student neither

there is any priority for any students there. He mentioned that the Tribal students get

admission in the University through Quota system, not by merit, there may be around 2-5

Tribal students each year. Usually there are much less Tribal students in bio-science than in

the social science or Art faculty subjects. If they do good results and are willing to do

specialized research under the supervision of their supervisors they can access all these

facilities like other students. Usually there are no Tribal students in Soil science, Zoology and

Botany right now. He strongly opined that there is no scope for discrimination against Tribal

students in the implementation level of the project.

DrM.MosharrafHossain, IFES Department, Chittagong University, Project:Enhancement of

Education and Research Capabilities in Environmental Sciences at the Institute of Forestry

and Environmental Sciences of CU

IFEShas quota provision for Tribal students, 5 for Forestry and 5 for Environment department

since the establishment of the department in 2000. DrHossainconsiders that Tribal students

get into these departments quite easily due to reserved seats and after getting certificates

with required skills and access to information and relevant knowledge they become more

competent in the job markets. HEQEP projects rather have a very positive impact on tribal

students particularly in these subjects. These are very much relevant to the Tribal people’s

livelihoods as the CHT regions Tribal people live in Hills and forests. Employers prefer to

provide them jobs in these areas compared to their Bengali fellow graduates who find it

harder to get employed in these sectors.

Prof. Dr. Bhuian Md. MonoarKabir, Dept. of Political Science, University of Chittagong

Professor Kabir considers the HEQEP project have positive impact and ensuring inclusion for

all students including Tribal students. He noted that this has neither left out nor provided

any preferential treatment to any asthere is no specific target group. He emphasized on

the fact that there is no scope for negative impact under HEQEP project as quarterly

seminars are arranged where many participated including the Tribal students, so they has

rights, access and freedom. Due to quota system in the university, among 130 students, 5-

10% percent students are from Tribal communities. Window 2 aims research quality

enhancement on Asian studies related issues and overall political science subject matters.

There is thus scope for students to research on Tribal communities ethnic minority issues in

Bangladesh and Tribal students can also conduct researches on own communities. Professor

Kabir lamented that in two phases, there was only one project in the Social Science and Arts

faculties. He suggest that more projects in these faculties, through library facilities, training,

of 80

workshops, students will be updated in knowledge and make them more competent in the

job market which is facing challenges.

Prof. Dr. Md. FashiulAlam, Dept. of Management Studies, University of Chittagong,

Project: Developing Teaching -Learning Capabilities in the Department of Management

Studies.

Professor Alaminforms that no impact study has been done yet on the impact of the project

on the tribal students and hence no informal information available on assessing the impact

on tribal students. He thinks that Tribal students are benefitted from the HEQEP project. As

there are at least 2-3% of total students are Tribal students, they are also availing the benefit

of the project. They also do Industrial Internship under this project with Professor Alam.

They attend seminars and do report submission on theirprojects

Dr. Khan Towhid Osman, Soil Science Department, Chittagong University, Chittagong.,

Project: Improvement of Teaching and learning at Undergraduate and Master’s Level in

the Dept. of Soil Science

Dr Osman opines regarding teaching and learning, the Tribal students get equal access like

the Bengali students. So the projects have same impact on them as general students of the

University. There is no chance of discrimination or restricting access for anyone in the

project.

Prof. Dr. Md. Jahangir Alam, Dept. of Civil Engineering, Vice-Chancellor, Chittagong

University of Engineering Technology (CUET)

There is no scope of exclusion or being disadvantaged for the Tribal students in the HEQEP

projects as they have equal access and benefit of the project facilities and outcomes. Due to

of 80

the quota system it is ensured that the Tribal students can get admission in the University.

There is, thus, positive impact of the projects on Tribal as well as all other students.

Dr. Mostafa Kamal, Associate Professor, Dept. of Humanities, Chittagong University of

Engineering Technology, Project:The accruement of knowledge by setting-up a Seminar

library in the Department of Humanities, Chittagong University of Engineering and

technology (CUET).

There are reserved seats for the Tribal students in different departments of CUET but

students’ enrollment varies in different departments due to weaker results of Tribal students

compared to general students, they hardly get access through merit list. Very small number

of Tribal students get admission in Mechanical and Civil Engineering. But as they have equal

access to the library and other facilities, there is no chance of them being disadvantaged in

regard to utilizing and benefitting from the facilities.

Prof. Md. Abdul Halim, Head, Dept. of Agricultural Economics and Social Sciences

Chittagong Veterinary and Animal Sciences University, Chittagong.

Tribal students enjoy quota facilities for getting enrolled in the University and the benefit of

the HEQEP as like other students. No special provisions available for either Tribal or Bangali

students. Most Tribal come from CHT and are mostly Chakma followed by Marma.

One promising issue in this regards is that there are almost equal numbers of male and

female tribal students in different department.

Currently 40% of the students are females though among three departments, they are

mostly in Fisheries and Food sciences, less in veterinary. On an average 3-4 female Tribal

students are enrolled.

of 80

Besides the interviews with the faculties and students and administration of the three

universities in Chittagong, a request was sent by email to the faculties of other universities

for assessment of the impact of the HEQEP projects by the relevant faculties.

DibyenduBiswas, Assistant Professor, Department of Medicine and Surgery, Ex. SMP (CP #

2178)AndIn-Charge, Veterinary Clinics, Faculty of Animal Science and Veterinary Medicine,

Patuakhali Science and Technology University

DrBiswas perceives that this project is very much effective for their institution as well as

students, because they do not have enough money to buy modern instruments for their

research lab and also they have no foreign donor funding available for their department.

From this point of view he thinks this project is very much essential for developing any lab

and makes research possible and easier.He opines without any well developed lab the

education will not be effective for society and as a biologist only knowledge is not effective

until and unless there is no well-furnished-lab and Knowledge can be explored through the

works in lab. The HEQEP project can develop the lab and explore our new technology which

will also have positive impact on Tribal students amongst the general student body.

SECTION 4: FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Findings:

HEQEP projects are neutral in nature; there is no scope for manipulation, discrimination, exclusion or preferential treatment to any faculty or student on basis of ethnic identity and gender. By reviewing the projects’ reports and consultation with the relevant stakeholders, it can be concluded that these projects by no means have any negative impact on the Tribal students, all projects have had a positive impact on the general student body; in some projects the Tribal students haverather benefited more than the mainstream Bengali students.

Form the review of the projectreports, it is evident that HEQEP is providing support to different faculties of several public and private universities. Due to quota system, tribal students are getting admission in different faculties and different Universities, particularly in the universalities in Chittagong it is around up to 10% in many departments. Thus, all the projects taken by the HEQEP have direct and indirect positive impact on them.

The HEQEP projects provide support in up gradation and automation of library, purchasing of books, journal, computers, infrastructure renovation, training for faculties, workshops and seminars for both faculties and students. In the science faculties HEQEP projects are also supporting installation of scientific instruments which otherwise might not be available for these department. All of these according to the faculties and students are benefiting the students including the tribal students. In some Science and Business departments, there are opportunists for research activities, internships where Tribal students can also take part.

In some departments such as environment, forestry, fisheries, food sciences courses are relevant to the livelihoods of the Tribal students which in turn helps them getting preferences to get jobs on priority compared to the Bengali counterparts. Support like library facilities, training, internship to these departments directly benefited the tribal students.

Form the consultation it was found that many Tribal students usually come to the Social Science and Arts faculties, thus support to these department also benefit Tribal students directly.

As Tribal students have less technical skill in their pre-university level in technical subjects, the updated library facilities with IT and laboratory facilities help enhancing their skill significantly and make them more marketable.

HEQEP projects according to the faculties and students help enhancing their skill and knowledge considerably to make them compatible at the job markets and have direct and

of 80

indirect positive impacts on them. There is no scope and sign of any discrimination, exclusion or disadvantage for the tribal students in the project, rather these make sure of their mainstreaming and inclusion as a general student without compartmentalization.

Recommendations:

These projects are benefitting the faculties, students and administration of the related universities significantly and in some cases tremendously. There was an urgent need for such funding for other departments and Universities.The projects can, thus be extended in the same trend with same principles. From the consultation and the review of projects it is recommended that such projects should be continued and expanded in new departments/faculties of universities.

Specific Recommendations:

Continued consultations with tribal students and teachers regarding identification of special needs, such as help with language

Seminar/cultural events to promote and increase knowledge and sensitivity towardsdifferent tribal/ethnic customs, rituals, culture etc. among other ethnic groups and mainstream students

It was found that tribal students hardly enroll in science and business schools despite the quota system. This may be because of weaker academic background in these subjects. The project can perhaps arrange extra tutorials or workshops to enhance understanding in thisarea.

SECTION 5: BANGLADESH: HIGHER EDUCATION QUAOLITY ENHANCEMENT PROJECT

(HEQEP)

SOCIAL MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK (SMF)

Introduction

The Ministry of Education (MoE) has prepared this Social Management Framework (SMF) for

supporting theHigher Education Quality Enhancement Project (HEQEP). The Government of

Bangladesh (GoB) is preparing the Additional Financing for the project, with financial support

from the World Bank. According to the project financing policy, GoB is required to assess

potential social safeguard issues in project preparation and adopt and implement

appropriate measures to mitigate them. Because of the design of the project all the activities

and the localities are not known, hence, a framework approach is taken.

Background

The AF will add an amount ofUS$110 million to the ongoing HEQEPinterventions in order to

scale up project impact and development effectiveness as well as fill the funding gap to

effectively complete the agreed project activities. The original key Project Development

Objective (PDO) will remain unchanged and that is to improve the quality and relevance of

the teaching and research environment in higher education institutions through encouraging

both innovation and accountability within universities and by enhancing the technical and

institutional capacity of the higher education sector.

Project Components

The original project has four components: (i) Promoting Academic Innovation; (ii) Building

Institutional Capacity; (iii) Raising Connectivity in Higher Education Sector; and (iv) Project

Management and M&E. The Additional Financing would finance the four original

components as well as one new component (Component 4) on Establishment of Quality

Assurance Mechanism. The original component 4 would become Component 5 and be

of 80

expanded to include communication activities in addition to Project Management and

Monitoring and Evaluation

1. The eight proposed changes arising from the additional financing include:

i. financing to cover the shortage of funds for the 1st and 2nd Round of AIF under

component 1.

ii. adding a third Round of AIF under Component 1: Additional grants will be provided

through Window 1 – Teaching Learning, Window 2 - Research and Window 3 –

university wide. Window 3 will include additional eligible activities for the

establishment of Technology Transfer Office.

iii. adding a new window 4 - Innovation Fund to be financed under Component 1.

iv. scaling up activities under component 2 and 3:

a. under sub-component 2.1, the AF will continue to support the capacity

building for strategic planning of higher education sector and under sub-

component 2.2, the AF will continue to finance all activities along with

inclusion of an additional capacity building activity on Intellectual Property

Literacy.

b. under component 3, the AF will finance additional activities to utilize full

potentials of the connectivity facilities.

v. adding a new component (Component 4) on Establishment of Higher Education

Quality Assurance Mechanism;

vi. component 5 will include communication activities and enhance the management

capacity to support scaled up activities;

vii. changes in the targets of the key performance indicators in line with the scaled up

activities and addition of new component/ activities;

viii. extension of the closing date from October 31, 2015 to December 31, 2018.

of 80

Social Safeguard Triggers

An interim assessment of project impact was carried out to measure the progress made so

far and to evaluate whether the project is heading towards meeting the PDO. The study was

conducted based on a stocktaking survey in all the AIF beneficiary departments, a

satisfaction survey on 971 students and 247 faculty members in 41 departments in 12

universities, 4 Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) and 27 Key Informant Interviews. The findings

of the Study confirm that despite some initial delays in implementation, the project is on

track for achieving its development objective. Satisfaction level of the stakeholders has

achieved the targeted level. A summary of achievements under the first and second rounds

of AIF is: (i) large number of equipment, IT facilities, laboratories, books and journals are

being made available to the students and faculty members; (ii) approximately 65 articles

have been published; and (c) 390 national and international seminars and workshops have

been arranged by the universities. Through the establishment of UGC Digital Library, online

journals are now available to teachers and students free of costs. Improvement of IT

infrastructure along with establishment of computer labs and digital management

information system has opened doors to the world of knowledge.

Therefore, it can be seen that the project has brought only positive benefits to the

institutions and students studying there.

There will be no requirement for private land acquisition, displacement of communities or

people from either public or private lands regardless of title and no adverse impacts on

livelihoods of any nature. Therefore the project will not trigger OP 4.12 Involuntary

Resettlement. The original project did not trigger the policy either and lessons learned

during its implementation support the fact that it will not be triggered for this AF either.

The project will be implemented nationwide; no adverse impact on Tribal People or

communities is expected as the project is mainly of a technical assistance nature.The project

originally did not trigger OP 4.10 Tribal People. However, it has been determined that for the

of 80

AF the policy will be triggered in order to promote inclusion and make the improvements

more demand oriented based on the recommendations of the Interim Impact Assessment:

(i) stronger awareness raising campaign for increasing the utilization of the facilities made

available by HEQEP funding; (ii) initiatives for establishing Industry-University collaboration

for fostering research relevance; (iii) standardized measurement for quality across the board

and establishment of an independent body for monitoring and facilitating quality assurance;

and (iv) initiative for addressing issues with assessment system and soft skills of the

graduates such as IT literacy, communication skills and moral values.

Given that the project only triggers OP/BP 4.10, and since the exact locations of project

implementation are yet to be determined, aTribal People’s Framework (TPF) has been

prepared as part of this SMF to ensure the participation of all tribal and vulnerable

communities in the project in a culturally appropriate and sensitive manner, that meets the

World Bank’s stated requirement of free, informed and prior consultations with the relevant

groups during project preparation and during implementation. This SMFhas been developed

in full concurrence with national laws and applicable World Bank Operational Policies.

Objectives

The Framework provides general policies, guidelines, codes of practice and procedures to be

integrated into the implementation of HEQEP. Consistent with the existing national

legislation, the objective is to help ensure that activities under the proposed project will:

Enhance positive social outcomes;

Prevent negative social impacts as a result of either individual institution or their

cumulative effects;

Ensure compliance with World Bank safeguard policies.

of 80

Basic Principles

The Framework is based on an assessment of the nature, scope, and scale of safeguards

impacts of the project components and institutional capacity of universities and institutions

and the implementing agencies to address social safeguards issues. The following principles

will apply for selection of institutions and activities:

All proposed institutes to be funded by the projects will be subject to a social

screening in order to assess the prevalence of Tribal students studying there.

The institutions will not propose to undertake activities that may require land

acquisition, or displacement of communities (regardless of title), or adverse impacts

on livelihoods. All development works will be limited to improvement of the existing

infrastructure if needed, and use their own land which must be free of

encumbrances, for any new structures (if applicable).

ENHANCING THE POSITIVE OUTCOMES OF THE PROJECT FOR TRIBAL STUDENTS:

Guidelines for developing Tribal People’s Plans

Once the exact Universities and other academic institutes targeted for the AF are

determined, they will be screened to assess the presence of tribal students according to the

screening formats attached. For institutions where tribal students are found in larger

numbers, the above framework will be used as guidance to prepare Tribal People’s Plans to

address the issues of participation, inclusion and enhancement of positive outcomes for

tribal students.

The Plans will be developed by the relevant institutions under the guidance of the PIU.

Objectives of Tribal Peoples Plan

The main objectives of the Tribal Peoples Plan (TPP) are to ensure that the activities funded

HEQEP do not adversely affect TPs, and that they receive culturally compatible social and

of 80

educational benefits. This will require the institutes to carefully screen all proposed activities

to determine presence of TPs in the locality and ensure informed direct participation.Tribal

people cover than 2% of the total population; the largest proportion of the country’s tribal

population lives in Bandarban, Rangamati and Khagrachari in the Chittagong Hill Tracts

(CHT). The Universities and institutions closest to these areas are situated in Chittagong City

where, even if tribal students come to study, they are assimilated with the mainstream

student population. Some tribal people, (TP) can also be found in remote areas of the north-

west and north-eastern regions but they are scattered and mainstreamed in these areas.

Identifying the Tribal Peoples

Although the TPs of Bangladesh are well recognized locally, the PIUtheir local representative

officials will examine the following characteristics to make formal identification:

Self-identification as members of a distinct tribal cultural group and recognition of

this identity by others;

Collective attachment to geographically distinct habitats or ancestral territories in the

project area and to the natural resources in these habitats and territories;

Customary cultural, economic, social or political institutions that are separate from

those of the dominant society and culture; and

A tribal language, often different from the official language of the country or region.

Basic Principles

To avoid or minimize adverse impacts and, at the same time, ensure benefits for TPs, the PIU

will apply the following basic principles in selection and design of particular activity:

Ensure that TP communities in general and their organizations are not excluded by

any means in activities selection, design and implementation processes.

of 80

Together with TPs, carefully screen the activities for a preliminary understanding of

the nature and magnitude of potential impacts, and explore alternatives to avoid or

minimize any adverse impacts.

Where alternatives are infeasible and adverse impacts on TPs are unavoidable, the

MoE, together with TPs and others knowledgeable of TP culture and concerns, will

immediately make an assessment of the key impact issues.

The MoE will undertake the necessary tasks in order to adopt appropriate mitigation

measures. The most important in this respect is intensive consultation with the tribal

communities, community elders/leaders, and formal and informal tribal

organizations, civil society organizations like NGOs, and others who are interested in

and have knowledge of TP issues.

Consultation will include the activity objectives and scope; the likely key

adverse impacts on (and benefits for) TPs; TPs’ own perception of the impacts

and feedback; and a preliminary assessment of economic opportunities which

the MoE could promote – in addition to mitigation of the adverse impacts.

Impact Mitigation & Development Measures

The universities and institutions will carry out a needs-assessment among tribal students to

gauge their academic difficulties and career aspirations in order to make the curriculum

more accessible to and effective for them.

Special need identification survey is required to support tribal students effectively and

efficiently. One major issue in this regard can be language skill. As many of the tribal

communities are not fluent in Bangla (though more or less all can speak it) or English other

than Chakma and may not get opportunities to equally like them to study in urban

mainstream educational institutes rather completed schooling in local schools with local

teachers having similar language barriers for actualizing the education materials most

efficiently. That would also help them to icebreaking of their inertia to have intercommunity

of 80

interaction as well as interaction with Bangalis.If the tribal students need any specific

assistance should be taken care of by identifying these areas. These may vary in different

faculties and regions.

Consultation Strategy

A consultation and communication strategy will be developed is for the Tribal students and

faculty members to incorporate their voices, providing them a sense of ownership and their

active participation. The strategy will be mindful of cultural contexts, tribal language usage

and social sensitivities. The strategy will build awareness amongst the tribal students and

faculty regarding project activities and potential benefits so that they may prepare to take

advantage of those benefits and opportunities. All project activities are neutral towards

providing benefits to the general student bodies, but an awareness campaign in local/ethnic

languages (including posters, workshops etc.) can enhance positive outcomes for tribal

students especially.

As required for informed consultation, concerned institutes will provide tribal students with

all activity-related information, including that on potential adverse impacts if any. To

facilitate consultation the institution will,

Prepare a time-table for dialogues during activity selection, design and

implementation processes, and consult them in a manner so that they can express

their views and preferences freely.

In addition to the communities in general, consult tribal organizations, community

elders/leaders and others with adequate gender and generational representation;

and civil society organizations like NGOs and groups knowledgeable of TP issues

regarding the university, academic curriculum, quality of education and marketability

of the education i.e. is it helping TPs get jobs?

of 80

Consultation will in general concentrate on awareness-raising, garnering feedback on the

curriculum and other aspects of student life (inclusion and participation) as well as exploring

additional development activities that could be promoted under the project. The institutes

will keep Minutes of these consultation meetings in the activity files and make them

available for inspection by IDA, GOB officials and other interested groups and persons.

Sensitization of the wider student-teacher body regarding tribal communities, culture,

customs, rituals etc.:

Get to know each other’s culture always gives space for more interaction, knowledge sharing

and trust building among different communities. Universities can think of a yearly event of

day long cultural activities of all the tribal communities to showcase their cultural elements

such as rituals, dance, music, costumes, customs etc. which will bond them more and make

the wider body having more interest in these cultures.

Safeguards Screening & Mitigation Guidelines

Safeguard screening will consist of an examination of requirements of the possible activities,

and the guidelines that will apply in terms funding eligibility and impact mitigation. The

following guidelines, practice codes and requirements will apply in selection, design and

implementation of particular activity:

Negative List. The activities that have characteristics as those described in the

‘Negative List’ (Annex 1) will be ineligible for funding under HEQEP;

Guidelines for Tribal Peoples Plan:Principles and guidelines to identify and deal with

adverse impacts on tribal peoples, and a consultation framework for adoption of

mitigation and development measures, where activities would adversely affect TPs.

Screening and Mitigation Responsibilities

At the institution levels, the Project Implementation Unit (PIU) will screen the projects to

ensure compliance with the above principles. For location specific sub-projects that trigger

OP 4.10the PIU will ensure that adequate and appropriate consultation modalities are

of 80

adopted to build consensus among the Tribal population, identify impacts in the light of their

unique needs and way of life and implement mitigation measures commensurate with their

cultural, religious and societal norms. The project mainly works on the supply side of the

higher education quality enhancement and development. The curriculum can be made more

accessible to tribal students by understanding their needs and exploring their career

aspirations.

Grievance Redress:

The Universities and institutions will set up a procedure to address complaints and

grievances regarding HEQEP procedural irregularities and environmental and social

guidelines. The procedure will however not pre-empt an aggrieved person’s right to seek

redress in the courts of law. All complaints will first be discussed in open meetings. If this

fails, the institutes can refer the complaints to the PIU with the minutes of the hearing taken

place at the institutional level. If PIU fails to resolve the matter, it can refer the case to the

DTE, which in turn can send unresolved cases to MoE.

Capacity Building

The PIU has a limited institutional capacity to implement the SMF. Specific capacity-building

training programs for the PIU needs to be planned for the project. Furthermore, DTE should

also have a designated officer who will be responsible contact person for matters related to

SMF.

Approval and Disclosure

As required by the World Bank’s project financing policy, the SMF prepared by the GOB will

be subjected to review and clearance by the designated regional sector unit of the Bank and

then finalized before formal appraisal of the project. The SMF, including a Bangla version,

will be disclosed to the public in Bangladesh by the Bank at its Country Office Information

Center, and by the MoEat its website.The Bank will also disclose it in its InfoShop

4.3.CHITTAGONG VETERINARY AND ANIMAL SCEINCES UNIVERSITYThe inception of Chittagong Government Veterinary college in 1995 which later transformed into Chittagong Veterinary and Animal Sciences University was associated with the aforementioned social and economic changes and demands to overcome past weaknesses of the Veterinary education. To produce skilled and competent veterinarians of international standard through the study of the combined courses (Veterinary and Animal Sciences) including internship, the government initially has established two veterinary colleges in Sylhet and Chittagong respectively in the year 1995-96 and later on established two more veterinary colleges in Dinajpur and Barishal. Chittagong Government Veterinary College (CGVC) started its journey on January, 1996 admitting 50 students in its first academic session under the faculty of Science, University of Chittagong.Subsequently, being satisfied with the academic activities, nice environment and quality educational system, the University of Chittagong converted this college into an individual Faculty of Veterinary Medicine with the approval of the University Grants Commission of Bangladesh (UGC). There was no agriculture-related university in the entire Chittagong Division.The Prime Minister had opened the Chittagong Veterinary University on February 02, 2006 which was a glorious achievement in the history of veterinary education and profession in the country. The Chittagong Veterinary and Animal Sciences University (CVASU) is established by the Act of the Government of the People's Republic of Bangladesh on 07 August, 2006 in order to confer 5 (five) years' Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degree and Higher degrees on various other subjects/courses/fields and to enhance research and development in the field of Veterinary and Animal Sciences. In its initial phase of development two new faculties namely, Faculty of Food Science and Technology and Faculty of Fisheries were planned to open within 5 years of its university inception.
