The basic problem of primary and secondary level is poor enrolment\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eand low retention rate in the school. To combat with this problem government of Bangladesh has been\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eundertaking myriad policies and programs. Among such policies Female Secondary Stipend Program\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e(FSSP), Food For Education Program (FFEP) and Free Text Book Distribution Program to the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003estudents of primary and secondary level are some innovative and better contributing policy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003einterventions in the field of female education in Bangladesh. All these policy interventions are\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003epurported with the pivotal motto of reducing drop rate and increasing enrollment rate in the secondary\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eeducation. All these policies are currently in operation except the Food for Education Program which\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ehas transformed into a cash transfer program very recently. Based on the policy problem of reducing\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003edropout rate of the secondary female students in the school, the above policies on FFEP, FTBDP and\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFSSP were chosen as three policy alternatives taking FSSP as status quo with a view to measuring\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eefficacy of these policies employing the cost effectiveness analysis method apprising their relative\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eworth in reducing dropout of female students in the secondary level calculating the base year 1994 and\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eanalyzing up to 2015 years data and thereafter to suggest the best policy option for the government of\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBangladesh. Data were generated and gathered from the available literatures on the above-mentioned\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ealternatives. Primarily FSSP populations were used as baseline population and compare it with\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003edropout and enrolment rate achieved of all the relevant alternatives and based on the unit cost and\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eretained student CEA of all the policy alternatives were calculated on excel sheets first and all data\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ewere manually transformed into word format. The findings of the policy analysis unearthed the fact\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethat in considering CEA of all the policy alternatives it was found that by using $1 it is possible to\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eachieve a non-drop out sustained of 219 females in case of status quo (FSSP). In case of FTBDP by\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eusing 1$ it will be possible to retain 970 female students. In relation to FFEP it will cost the same $1\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eto achieve a non-drop out sustained of 14371 females enrolled.
