At present Information technology (IT) is a subject of widespread interest in Bangladesh.Every sector has some basement.There are three basement on IT sector.They are 1.computer 2.Internet 3.Website.But now a days we face some troubles in this sector.As a result we can not develop our country.
1.Knowledge problem:
Most of the country have no idea about IT sector.They don”t know what is IT or why we receive IT education.Even our huge number of student deprive of IT education.Town students have knowledge of Facebook,yahoo,G mail,twitter.But they have no proper idea of it education.It is a great sorrow news for village people that they have no idea of It sector.Most of the idle person have no knowledge about of It sector.
2.Money problem:
Bangladesh has a small country but her population is increased day by day.The half of the people in our country leads their life under the poverty.They have know more money as they receive it education.They have no personal computer so that they can not get opportunity for practice.As result they can not interest in it sector.
3.Language problem:
Most of the people in our country afraid in English.Sometimes more student fail in English subject.But the computer operate by the system of binary.Then it is converted English language.As a result student and people can not interest ion IT education.
4.Telecommunication problem:
Bangladesh has one of the lowest tale-density in South Asia, with a mere 0.6 (in India 1.5) lines per 100 people. In terms of phone connectivity, the charge of Bangladesh Telephone and Telegraph Board (BTTB) is one of the highest in the world, near above US$500.00 (in India US$60) for normal single telephone line connection. Present government is also trying to get additional telephone lines from a Canadian firm. If these telephone lines are available in Bangladesh, most of the PC users will be able to use internet and find a scope to build up international career .
5.Investment:
We need a lot of IT firm for developing our IT sector.but most of the it firm needed a huge amount of money for investment.Our bank don”t provide more opportunity on this sector as they built a lot IT farm.Smetimes they fix huge amount of income tax.Sometimes government take some bad issue and don’t t help IT farm company.
Solution this problems
Outlook attitude:
If any country wants to develop they must need to develop IT sector.Only one sector can change a country.For example:once a time chines s people take food from dustbin.But now a days they are rich country top of the world.Their product market place all over the country.They just buildup their IT sector as a result their product sell all of the country.So if we develop our IT sector,we can change our country rapidly.First we need a lot of knowledge of IT.Media can be a vital role in this sector.Daily news paper publish article of information technology news and science fiction.TV channel also influence in this sector.They show IT related program once per day.FM radio can be a important role in this site.Most of the student and young generation listen FM radio everyday.So they are talking IT related something.
Government contribute:
Government first every division build a computer training center.They provide education without no extra cost and expensive cost as the poor student and the rich student can take education.They take law income tax from it farm and NGO.They deal other country for buying IT products and distribute with a short a time and must sell this product cheap rate.Most of the brilliant student of public and private goes to foreign country for better jobs.So government must increase job opportunity.
Education system:
Education is the backbone of a nation.But it is a extremely sorrows news that our education system is very poor.Most of the student in our country deprive of knowledge of English language.Sometimes we see that our teacher have no knowledge of English language.As a result huge number of student fail in English subject.So government should create skillful teacher and engage their school or college.
