Problems and Context

Electricity Supply Inequality in Urban and Rural Areas

Although Bangladesh has made significant progress in electricity generation, there is a stark disparity in electricity supply between urban and rural areas. Urban areas enjoy relatively stable electricity, while rural areas face prolonged load shedding and low voltage issues. This inequality deprives rural communities of electricity-dependent services and opportunities. Educational institutions, small businesses, and the agricultural sector are particularly affected by power shortages, posing challenges to the overall economy.

Impact of Electricity Crisis on the Education Sector

The electricity crisis has had the most significant impact on rural educational institutions. Students are deprived of the opportunity to study at night due to the lack of electricity. Digital teaching tools such as projectors, computers, or the internet cannot be used due to load shedding. As a result of this electricity crisis:

  • Student attendance in classes is decreasing.
  • Preparation for exams is being disrupted.
  • The quality of education is deteriorating.

Without effective measures to address these electricity supply issues, improving education will become increasingly difficult.

Obstacles to Leveraging Freelancing and Digital Skills of the Young Generation

The young generation is one of the most promising sectors for earning foreign currency in Bangladesh, especially through freelancing and digital work. However, the electricity crisis has become a major obstacle in utilizing their talents and skills. Due to the lack of reliable electricity and internet connectivity, they:

  • Cannot work from home effectively.
  • Fail to deliver work to international clients on time.
  • Miss opportunities to improve their skills.

This crisis is reducing the financial development of the youth and the country's potential to earn foreign currency.
