Introduction:
Bangladesh is a country having an area of about 1,47,570 square kilometers. It is burdened with about 150
million people. So Bangladesh is a densely populated country. As such population problem is by far, a
burning question of Bangladesh.
Over-population adversely affects the economic development and progress of a country. It creates problems
of foods, communication, education, housing, health, sanitation, employment etc. But now-a-days over-
population is not our curse; also it is a main resource of our country. If we can provide training of our
unskilled people through technical (vocational) courses, we may convert them into skilled workers and solve
the unemployment problem and earn foreign currency also.
Bangladesh Technical Education Board is authorized by parliament of our country to introduce, control and
develop technical (vocational) curriculum.
At present professional computer training is essential for enriching our manpower from every corners of
Bangladesh. We need 5000 Hardware/Network professionals every year for fulfill the demands in our
IT sector in Bangladesh and skilled manpower for overseas.
In this regard BTEB has approved a short course on Computer Hardware and Networking. The syllabus is
prepared as per present need in the job markets.
