Delimitation 
Some delimitation are given below for future improvement: 
a. 
One government and two non-governmentschoolsof Jessore area were selected 
for data collection of this research; randominclusion of other government and non-
government schools as well as madrasa education might draw dynamic findings. 
b. 
For time constraint, the survey is confined to threeschools. The claims and 
solutions of this research could have been stronger and more representative if few more 
schools have been covered. 
c. 
Only schools of Jessore city area were selected for the research. It could be 
better if schools from Dhaka or other cities were included in the research. 
d. 
The expansion of sample size might depict more statistically unbiased result; 
financial and time constraint also had an impact on current study.
