Our free school

Although primary school enrollment in Bangladesh has increased, the quality of education remains low. Almost forty percent of all children who enroll in first grade fail to complete primary school, and only 2 percent of children achieve all prescribed competencies by the completion of fifth grade. USAID helps coordinate efforts among government and donors to maximize the impact of education initiatives and help children succeed early on in their education. By remaining in school, the country’s youngest generation is more likely to contribute to a prosperous future.

Swadesh mrittika Bidda Niketon education activities nurture the untapped potential and diverse talents of young children, particularly among poor and disadvantaged families, to help them achieve their full learning capacity. We provide extra-curricular activities to increase learning skills, strengthen community involvement in school management activities, and train primary school teachers to use proven, successful teaching methods. This intervention will help ensure greater literacy and critical thinking skills in Bangladeshi youth.
