Students’ Pastimes

The graph shows different types of pastime activities of the students of

Bangladesh from 1990 to 2010. A steady rise in young people’s tendency to
watch TV is noticed in the graph. In 1990, 40% of the students liked
watching TV which increased to 48% in the next ten years and it further
increased to 55% in the next decade. Unfortunately, the picture is grim in
terms of students’ attraction to open field games and sports. When 50% of the
students opted for games and sports in the 90s, 10% students withdrew
themselves from it after a decade making it 40%. Unfortunately the falling
tendency persisted on during the next ten years and by 2010 it came to 30%.
Though the young people have disassociated themselves noticeably from
games and sports, there is a sharp and solid increase in their association with
online or computer assisted programmes. In 1990 when the users of online or
computer for pastimes were only 10%, in 2000 the number reached 15% and
it further increased to 25% in the next decade.
Literacy Rate of Bangladesh
The graph deals with the literacy rate of Bangladesh. It shows the trend in
literacy rate that took place within the time span of 1995 to 2010.
In the year 1995, only 38.1% people of Bangladesh were literate. The rate
took a good leap to 56% in 2000, within the period of five years.
Unfortunately in 2001 the number of literacy rate decreased to 47.9%. In
2003, the trend of decrease goes on and as a result the literacy rate goes down
to 43.1%.
In 2010, with a happy note, the literacy rate goes up to 56.8%. It was the
result of hard work of the previous seven years.

So, it can be said that within the period of 15 years, there is a great
achievement in education sector. In this period of time, the literacy rate
increased a lot.
