BHP Director John Richards has been working with Bangladeshi colleagues proposing reforms to the country’s education system. Following joint publication of a textbook, “Political Economy of Education in South Asia”, John contributed to a recent essay in a prominent Dhaka newspaper. The essay covers all aspects of an agenda for education reform aimed at building an equitable, inclusive and quality education system for all.
Among many other recommendations, Dr. Manzoor Ahmed, the lead author, writes: “One of the priorities should be a broad assessment of primary-level students' ability to read and do basic arithmetic, and actions based on the assessment to reach these targets.” This has been a major focus of BHP expectations for the primary school that we support through the Oasis for Posterity NGO. You can read about the latest assessment and follow-up actions in earlier editions of this blog.
