The number of participant has been increased a lot, but the problem is that the education system in Bangladesh has been run under different separate streams and mostly is traditional. Nonetheless, the sex education is absent in most of the curriculum, in fact, at all the main streams elementary school levels in Bangladesh but it is considered as a very much essential part of the schooling process in developed nations.
