Education in the Maritime Sector and Sustainable Development: Bangladesh's Position in the World

Abstract

Bangladesh's historic geography and the recent delineation of its maritime borders with India and Myanmar, its neighbours, have created new opportunities for the country's sustainable economic growth. However, it necessitates a varied workforce in the maritime industry. The trained labour force required for this industry cannot be obtained without specialised maritime education and training, or MET. There are many different types of educational institutions in Bangladesh, such as independent research centres, technical institutes, academies, and specialty universities. They provide a selection of degrees and MET courses. This essay offers a comprehensive summary of MET opportunities in Bangladesh, as well as the career and financial prospects of maritime industry experts and their implications for the nation's sustainable development. In order to outline the overview supporting Bangladeshi perspectives, the necessary data and material has been gathered from a number of databases, including ResearchGate, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, ERIC, journals, and newspapers. The study has important ramifications for educators, trainers, policy makers, and other parties with an interest in Bangladesh's marine industry.
