| Abstract | This paper attempted to indentify the wastage of youths' higher educational efforts in both knowledge and compensation level. This is a descriptive analytical research done through primary and secondary data. The stratified probability sampling is used to collect the representative data from the population. Data collection was done by a well-designed questionnaire that was formulated with the help of the experts. The data were collected from 198 graduate respondents of different subjects who are studying and working at different careers in Sylhet-one of the seven divisional cities of Bangladesh. Due to lack of employment opportunity by lower educational level, people are directed to achieve higher degree in the expectation to start a better career. But it increases only the surplus of educated manpower in the employment race. The collected data were processed through Microsoft excel 07 andSPSS 19 to get the desired outputs to analysis in the viewpoints of objectives. The simple statistical methods (frequency distribution, cross tabulation, Chi-square etc.) are used to interpret the data. It is supposed to get better opportunity of getting better return from their career by using the knowledge and skill level earned in the valuable time of achieving higher degree from universities. But this study found a disappointing situation prevailing in the country where the respondents perceived that the design of the programs is not consistent with requirement of practical life and poor execution debar them in achieving the desired skill. Further the state of economy is not responsive to the expenses of time and efforts of individuals in achieving the higher degree along with inability of involving the excess supply of educated people in productive activities. Those increase the wastage in higher education of Bangladesh. |
