BRAC Shiksha Programme Dhaka

BRAC's Education Programme is one of the world's largest and most impactful non-formal education initiatives, operating tens of thousands of schools across Bangladesh reaching millions of students. Founded by BRAC (originally Bangladesh Rural Advancement Committee), now the world's largest NGO, the programme primarily serves disadvantaged rural and urban slum children who fall outside the formal education system. BRAC schools offer primary-level education with a focus on literacy, numeracy, and life skills, following a condensed but effective curriculum. The programme is internationally acclaimed for its innovative, community-based approach to education access and has been replicated in multiple other countries. BRAC Education maintains dedicated teacher training, materials development, and quality assurance programmes. While primarily focused on basic education, BRAC also operates secondary schools and pre-primary programmes, contributing significantly to Bangladesh's dramatic improvement in education access and literacy rates over the past five decades. BRAC Education is supported by a range of international development partners and serves as a global model for scalable, impact-driven educational programming.
