2. Based on your reading of the passage, make short notes in each of the boxes in the flow-chart chart on the causes of poor accessibility in higher education in Bangladesh..  (No.1 has been done for you): 10                                                                                                                                                                                        

Accessibility to higher education implies that students get the opportunity to get university education and sufficient support from educational institutions.Increasing enrolment at the secondary and higher secondary level puts pressure on higher educational institutions. But due to limited capacity, only a small number of students may be enrolled in universities. Thus, each year a large number of students are denied access to higher education. Also, due to poverty and increase in educational expenses, students of the lower middle class do not get easy access to higher education. Moreover, those who get places in the universities have limited access to avail all kinds of diversified educational facilities relating to their study fields.

 

 

 

        

 

 

 

3. Write the theme of the following poem. [Use not more than 50 words]      8    

The buzz saw snarled and rattled in the yard          

And made dust and dropped stove-length sticks of wood,

Sweet-scented stuff when the breeze drew across it

And from there those that lifted eyes could count

Five mountain ranges one behind the other             

Under the sunset far into Vermont.

And the saw snarled and rattled, snarled and rattled,

As it ran light, or had to bear a load.

And nothing happened: day was all but done.

Call it a day, I wish they might have said

To please the boy by giving him the half hour

That a boy counts so much when saved from work.

His sister stood beside him in her apron

To tell them 'Supper.' At the word, the saw,

As if to prove saws knew what supper meant,        

The boy's first outcry was a rueful laugh,

As he swung toward them holding up the hand

Half in appeal, but half as if to keep

The life from spilling. Then the boy saw all -

Since he was old enough to know, big boy

Doing a man's work, though a child at heart --

He saw all spoiled. "Don't let him cut my hand off-       

The doctor, when he comes. Don't let him, sister!"

So. But the hand was gone already.

The doctor put him in the dark of ether.

He lay and puffed his lips out with his breath.

And then-the watcher at his pulse took fright,         

No one believed. They listened at his heart.

Little - less - nothing! - and that ended it.

No more to build on there. And they, since they
