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 the third pillar

of Bank’s FY11-14 Country Assistance Strategy. The Education Policy 2010 and Sixth Five Year

Plan (2011-15) have placed 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,

http://www.heqep-ugc.gov.bd/

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 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 76

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$123

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 original project 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. The project may operate in the

areas where ethnic minority people live in the wider general area (such as in Chittagong). And

there may be ethnic minority students and faculty at the institutions.

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 addition to 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

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 provide a framework for addressing the potential impacts if there is any.

of 76

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

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

of 76

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

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

keeping in mind the geographic location, 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:

of 76

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) who belong to the ‘mongoloid group’ and live in a geographically compact area.

The CHT is situated in the extreme southeast of Bangladesh, bounded on the north and

northeast by the Indian state of Mizoram and Tripura, and on the south and southeast by

Myanmar (Burma), and on the east by 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 Tanchangyas andMarmas, are Buddhists.

The Tripuras are Hindus Hindus, although a substantial number of them have converted into

Christianity in the recent decades. Earlier, the Mros were Buddhist

of 76

And animists, but many now have their own religion. The Bawms, Pankhuas and Lushais are

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

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

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

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 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 Chakma

consisted 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 different Public 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 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’

of 76

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 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

of 76

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 knowhow has 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 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

of 76

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. Projects review- most relevant ones:

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.

SECTION 3: BENEFICIARIES OF THE HEQEP 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.Mosharraf Hossain, IFES Department, Chittagong University, Project: Enhancement of

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

and Environmental Sciences of CU

IFES has quota provision for Tribal students, 5 for Forestry and 5 for Environment department

since the establishment of the department in 2000. Dr Hossain considers 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.

of 76

Prof. Dr. Bhuian Md. Monoar Kabir, 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 as there 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, workshops, students will be

updated in knowledge and make them more competent in the job market which is facing

challenges.

Prof. Dr. Md. Fashiul Alam, Dept. of Management Studies, University of Chittagong, Project:

Developing Teaching -Learning Capabilities in the Department of Management Studies.

Professor Alam informs 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 their projects

of 76

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 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.

of 76

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.

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

Dr Biswas 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. Form the review

of the project reports, 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.

of 76

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

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 towards

different 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. The university could submit AIF proposal for the development of

extra tutorials or workshops for tribal students to enhance their knowledge and

understanding in these areas.

SECTION 5: BANGLADESH: HIGHER EDUCATION QUALITY ENHANCEMENT PROJECT

(HEQEP)

SOCIAL MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK (SMF)

Introduction

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

supporting the Higher 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$123 million to the ongoing HEQEP interventions 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 expanded to

include communication activities in addition to Project Management and Monitoring and

Evaluation

of 76

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.

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

of 76

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, a social assessment identified that the project interventions will have positive impacts to stakeholders of tertiary education including any ethnic minority groups in Bangladesh who may be beneficiaries of the project. Based on this finding, OP 4.10 Indigenous People will be triggered for the project.

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

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

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

of 76

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 SMF has 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.

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).

of 76

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

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 PIU their 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;

of 76

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.

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

of 76

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 inter community 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.

of 76

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?

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.

The institutes can use several methodologies to reach out to the tribal students; some

possibilities may be:

Assessing the number of tribal students enrolled at the institutions

Arranging teacher-student forums and parent –teacher forums with tribal families to

enhance communication and awareness raising regarding the project benefits

Workshops and focus group discussions to tailor project benefits to the needs of tribal

students; assess whether any special areas are being currently left out

Establish a feedback loop with the PIU, by submitting Tribal Peoples Plans with specific

interventions recommended jointly by tribal students and teachers

Submit a budget for the above activities

The PIU will monitor the successful implementation of the Plans and a third party

monitor will evaluate the process and outcomes.

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

of 76

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 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

of 76

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.

Monitoring and Evaluation:

The PIU will be responsible for monitoring the successful implementation of Tribal Peoples

Plans. They will maintain a database of enrollment rates, success rates and trends regarding

which areas of education tribal students prefer and analyze what are the deterring factors

keeping them from other disciplines.

There is provision for third party monitoring of the overall project; the same agency will also

evaluate the process and outcomes of implementing the Tribal Peoples Plans, and recommend

improvements where necessary.

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 MoE at its website. The Bank will also disclose it in its InfoShop

4.3. CHITTAGONG VETERINARY AND ANIMAL SCEINCES UNIVERSITY

The 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.
