Abstract

Bhola is a coastal district in the southern part of Bangladesh which prone to natural disasters, mainly cyclones, and upsurges of saline water in the sea due to the impact of climate change through increasing temperature. Natural disasters are the key forces for river erosion, loss of assets, increasing poverty along some other socioeconomic impacts. The objectives of the study were to check the impact of climate change through natural disasters on the education sector of the district by creating various challenges and vulnerabilities in the education system, resource allocation, and maintenance resulting in students dropping out, child marriage, livelihood changes, etc. There is much research on climate change and its impacts on the coastal areas of Bangladesh but publications, and research works on the same topic were not found. Content Analysis has been adopted for this study to investigate the causes and effects of a tabulation method. Related books, articles publications in journals, and features on the topic in the reputed online media have been scrutinized for this study. The coding of the content analysis has been carefully checked and synchronized with the problem statement based on the research question of the study. The impact of climate change has a significant role in student dropout because of the destruction of infrastructures, migration of people, increasing poverty, child marriage, changes in the livelihoods of the people, etc. To address this problem massive and comprehensive intervention is necessary along with increasing capacity building and adaptation of the people.
