Thank you prity.

I’m going talk about the educational development in our country

Over the last decade, Bangladesh has made notable progress in expanding access to education.
In a country of over 18 million primary school students, Bangladesh has achieved near
universal net primary enrollment, with over 97.9% of children of primary school age enrolling
in school. USAID supported the Government of Bangladesh to improve early grade reading.
They worked in partnership with the Ministry of Primary and Mass Education to enhance
investments in teacher training, teaching and learning materials, and community reading camps
to ensure that all children learn to read in their first years of schooling.

(EXPLAIN THE SLIDES)

Improved Reading Skills for Primary School Students: Recognizing that not all students
speak the Bangla language, programming also developed supplementary reading materials in
three languages spoken in the Chittagong Hill Tracts.

Access for Out-of-School Children: USAID partners with the non-governmental organization
BRAC to establish and run1,000 one-room school houses for children in urban slums where
there was previously no access to schooling.

Sisimpur: it’s a television series which started in 2001 and viewed weekly by over 10 million
children. The episodes teach critical pre-literacy skills, such as letter recognition and
vocabulary. The episodes also include thematic messages related to other development
objectives of USAID/Bangladesh, such as nutrition, hand-washing, the environment, and peace
and conflict resolution.
