Regional Inequality in the Distribution Pattern and Accessibility of Educational Institutions in Sylhet Division, Bangladesh

Education is one of the most important constituents of human resource development. In this study an attempt has been made to find out the regional inequality in distribution pattern and accessibility of educational institutions in Sylhet Division, Bangladesh. Spatial dispersion with regard to the city center/district headquarter has been calculated to find out the distributional pattern. Accessibility of the educational institutions has been computed with the help of the number of educational institutions, population density and total area of the Sylhet division where the relationship between density of population and educational institutions have been taken in consideration. Correlation between the density of populations and the density of educational institutions is established by analyzing standard statistical techniques as well as spatial analysis.
