Bangladesh recognizes basic education as a fundamental right and universal primary education as a basic state policy. Bangladesh has an impressive adult literacy rate of 74.68%, which undoubtedly is a big success of the present Government’s visionary education policy.
However, it is impossible to bring all sections of the people under the formal education system. A large number of children cannot enter the education system due to various reasons; these include poverty and rising inequality, widening disparities in educational opportunities and facilities, poor class attendance and alarming dropout rates, lack of skilled teachers, lack of scientific curriculum, high cost of school-education, imposition of newer systems of education without proper teachers-training programs, etc.
Volunteer has been providing free of cost quality education to underprivileged children following the English version of NCTB curriculum. With a decade-long presence in the education sector and pioneering the Digital Schooling Program, JAAGO revolutionised the quality of education in remote areas of Bangladesh.
Foundation with its youth platform stepped forward to provide the youth of Bangladesh a voice. It focuses on national development by reallocating skills and resources to foster self-reliance and growth in every young citizen. Based on the PYD approach, the main goal is to increase the meaningful participation of youth within their communities, schools, organizations, economies, peer groups, and families, enhancing their skills, providing opportunities, and fostering healthy relationships so they may build on their collective leadership.
In addition to this, to address the need of those who do not have access to traditional schools, JAAGO has introduced alternative learning opportunities and developed a curriculum that reflects the special needs of the children and adolescents and empowers them to cope with life. Whilst improving the life prospects of the students through education, JAAGO also focuses on emotional and physical nourishment. JAAGO provides nutrition, hygiene and health programs benefiting the students, their families and the wider community.
