What We Do : Education

BRAC has been a pioneer in the education arena, and currently operates programmes from pre-primary through graduate school. BRAC’s highly reputed informal primary education programme was widely promoted by UNICEF and others as a high impact, low cost model for teaching children who had never enrolled, or had dropped out of primary school. BRAC’s track record of success in graduating students and continuing their education in government schools led the organisation to create programmes to improve the state-run schools through teacher training and the formation of school management committees and parent teacher associations.

Clinton Global Initiative Commitment

In 2007 at the Clinton Global Initiative, BRAC made a commitment to raise USD 271 million to provide empowering educational opportunities for the most disadvantaged children, especially girls, on a significant scale in Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Tanzania, Uganda, and Southern Sudan.

We currently have education programmes in:

• Bangladesh
• Afghanistan
