Overview This short paper seeks to provide the American members of the bilateral Higher Education Task Force with an opinionated analysis of the crisis in Vietnamese higher education. We begin by analyzing the magnitude of the crisis and its root causes. Next, we consider how key actors—the Vietnamese government, the Vietnamese people, and the international community—are responding to the situation. We conclude by stressing the importance of institutional innovation as a necessary component of an effective reform platform. A short essay on Vietnamese higher education and science by a prominent Vietnamese scientist is included as reference in an appendix. This memorandum is informed by Harvard’s experience building and operating the Fulbright Economics Teaching Program, a center of public policy teaching and research located in Ho Chi Minh City.1 At present the Ash Institute is a partner in a research project lead by The New School that is studying the institutional barriers to higher education reform in Vietnam. II. Dimensions of the Crisis It is difficult to overstate the seriousness of the challenges confronting Vietnam in higher education. We believe without urgent and fundamental reform to the higher education...

...Chapter: 1 SME Financing in Bangladesh We have come across many definitions of SMEs in Bangladesh. According to the Industrial Policy document from the Ministry of Industries, a small enterprise is defined as a registered enterprise with less than 50 workers, excluding the cottage units, and with a fixed capital investment of less than BDT 100 million. A medium enterprise is defined as a registered enterprise with between 50 and 99 workers, and/or with a fixed capital investment between BDT 100 million and BDT 300 million. The PCBs (Private Commercial Banks) seem to have various definitions based on loan components. The small-scale segment is in general defined as enterprises with a loan component between BDT 300,000 and BDT 10 million (between USD 5,500 and USD 185,000). Medium companies are said to have a loan component between BDT 10 million and BDT 100 million (between USD 185,000 and USD 1.85 million). Under yet another definition the World Bank estimates that Bangladesh has approximately 27,000 medium-scaled enterprises (here defined by the Government of Bangladesh as registered enterprises with assets larger than USD 600,000 equivalent) and 150,000 small-scale enterprises (registered enterprises with assets of less than USD 600,000 equivalent). The small and medium scale enterprises (SMEs) are mainly found within the industry and services sector. In Bangladesh, the SMEs account for about 45 percent of manufacturing value addition, 80 percent of industrial employment...
