Education Program

EDUCATION

BARNALY since 2001 it has been implementing an education program in Chattogram district of Bangladesh in order to get the educational opportunities available for underprivileged peoples including all age groups. The need to develop closer links between education and the community has been a growing concern in the educational programs as well as developmental plans of both developed and developing countries. BARNALY believes education is imperative for development and achieving greater equality. It shall imbue people with knowledge, sense of purpose and confidence. Education is a key to providing a better future for people and improving their own quality of life. A large portion of the population in Bangladesh is completely far from basic education. Education needs to prepare people so that they and their community can get out of poverty.
