GO-NGO Co-operation for  Primary Education Development:

• The government realizes that without integration of civil society into primary education development activities, targeted goal of overall primary development cannot be achieved. To this end, some community schools established by the government are decided to be run by NGOs. On the other hand, some schools of unserved and under served areas have been given to NGOs for construction with GOB’s own resources.   Accordingly, 188 schools have already been set up by the NGOs with GOB’s own resources.

• BRAC is implementing pre-primary education programme to complement the government efforts.

·         Measures have also been taken to enroll the floating poor children specially of the sub-urban and slum areas of 6 divisional cities in the “Basic Education for Hard to Reach Urban Children Project” which will help to reduce child labour in the country.

·         In non-formal education side projects on Post Literacy and Continuing Education is under implementation to help reduce rural poverty through investments in human development. These projects will help reduce illiteracy and empowering the rural people by providing life skills and income generating skills. Provision has also been made to include 50 per cent female learners in these literacy centers. A good number of NGOs are collaborating with GOB under these projects.
