| description |
BRAC, a non-governmental development organisation in Bangladesh, has been working
for the socio-economic advancement of the poor, especially the women and children. It
has long experience in providing basic public health services, enhancing income earning
activities, and extending education. Complementary to the State initiatives, alternative
public service delivery systems became relevant in many countries. This paper explores
BRAC experiences in providing basic and primary educational services to the poorer
section of the community. Starting with a functional literacy programme for the adult
people how BRAC turned into a quality primary education provider for the children and
adolescents was explored in this article. Activities on other components like continuing
education, adolescent development and secondary education are also discussed. It also
showed how BRAC's countrywide network, research, monitoring, accounts and audit
departments - which in general are not considered as educational activities - played
important roles in making the education programme grounded and expanded. Lessons
learn from this experience are also summarized. |
