Education is a Fundamental Right in Bangladesh. Bangladesh has made impressive strides in providing education to its citizens. Recognizing the importance of education, the government has made basic education a fundamental right and universal primary education a basic state policy. As a result, Bangladesh has achieved an adult literacy rate of 74.68%, a testament to the government’s commitment to education.

Investing in education is a wise choice as it has the power to transform lives and shape the future of individuals and communities. The present government’s visionary education policy has brought the country closer to its goal of a literate and educated society, and with your support, we can continue to make a positive impact.

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.

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.
