Combatting Covid-19 and the planned Reopening on 31 st May 2020 Take a ‘whole of the society approach’ - A statement from Bangladesh Health Watch (The Watch)
Bangladesh Health Watch, a citizens’ platform for improved accountability of the
country’s healthcare system through evidence based policy review and citizen
feedback, is deeply concerned at the recent steep increase in case numbers and
continuation of unnecessary deaths due to Covid-19. On the contrary, Bangladesh
remains at the bottom of the league table in South Asia in terms of the proportion of
people tested for the disease. It is equally concerned at the failure of much of the
population to adhere to basic prevention norms and the rising incidences of fear and
stigma in the society. The Bangladesh Health Watch believes that in order to combat a
crisis as large and complex as the Covid-19, the country needs a ‘whole of the society’
approach in which every group and individual is mobilized to fight the scourge, as we
did in the War of Liberation. Unfortunately this is sadly absent. The Watch believe that
the social and scientific aspects of the planned ‘reopening’ on 31 st May 2020 and its
likely consequences have not been duly considered.

Error analysis in EFL writing classroom

Identifying the EFL learners’ errors in writing has no longer been important but essential. As such, drawing the
pertinent questions that what are the most common types of error committed by EFL learners in Bangladesh and
what are the perceptions possessed by them concerning error correction, the article addressed the commonest
errors committed by the learners and the perceptions of them toward error correction. Additionally, adopting the
error analysis suggested by Ellis, the categorical presentation of the errors was also accomplished. This study
comprised a corpus of EFL learners in the secondary level to enquire the commonest errors. Along with this, a
student survey was carried out to reveal the perceptions of the students regarding error correction. The common
errors identified were subjected to, grammar, misinformation, misordering and overgeneralization. Additionally,
the study uncovered strong preference of the EFL learners to get their errors to be corrected by the teachers.

Socio-economic vulnerability and neo-liberalism: lessons from Bangladesh
Rahman, Shahidur
Based on a case study of an export-oriented Bangladeshi garment company, this article shows how hierarchies of vulnerability have developed in the process of global integration of Bangladesh’s garment industry. Situating the problem of economic dependency in a globalised context within a broader political economy discussion of local Bangladeshi scenarios, the study illustrates how such patterns of development are shaped by internal as well as external social and political forces that create conditions of vulnerability.
