Abstract
In Bangladesh, children of the science stream education at secondary level may choose to study ‘Higher Mathematics’ as an optional course. This paper reports a preliminary analysis of six focus group discussions (FGDs) with some children of grades 9 and 10 across three rural secondary madrasas (Islamic schools) in Bangladesh. The analysis suggests that shortage of good higher math teachers and a private tuition centered math education have negative effects on children’s participation in an optional course in Higher Mathematics.
