QUALITY OF EDUCATION AND VALUE FOR MONEY IN PRIVATE BUSINESS SCHOOLS OF BANGLADESH: STUDENTS' PERCEPTION

Abstract

This research studied the students' perception regarding the quality of education and value for money in private business schools in Bangladesh. A questionnaire including 42 distinct areas of student sensitivity clustered into 6 groups designed in a ve-point likert scale is used. The ndings show that broadly the students are more satised with general, administrative &registry, and faculty resources. They are found least satised with nancial offerings. In the areas of placement, career &perceived quality; academic, research &educational services; and facilities their satisfaction level is low and similar. Specically, the respondents are satised with airconditioning facilities, classroom cleanliness, classroom space, on-time registrations, education & communication skills of the faculty members, class schedules, and make-up classes. But the respondents are not much satised with transport, dormitory, recreation and gym facilities. They are found indifferent to further study from the same university they studied. Overall, the respondents are found not receiving adequate value for their money. This study indicates that the private business schools should focus more on research and development facilities enabling the students to continue further education. The research open scope to investigate quality of education in private business schools in developing necessary skills for employability.
