About e-Education
Bangladesh is one of the fastest growing economies of the recent world. Performance of Bangladesh in various socio-economic indicators like GDP growth, Per Capita Income, Life Expectancy, Health and Education and so on is remarkable. Currently, Bangladesh government is giving priority in integrated and inclusive development. On the contrary, though Bangladesh is showing remarkable performance in various socio-economic indicators but its performance in ensuring quality education for all is not up to the mark and companionable with the competitive world.
Therefore, to instigate integrated and inclusive development movement of Bangladesh and address the problems related to education, e-Education project was initiated in Bangladesh in 2009 to reduce gap of quality education between urban and countryside areas through providing ICT based distance learning innovation. It creates access for higher education for meritorious but poor students from remote areas of Bangladesh. We also provide some scholarships to successful students for smooth continuation study. Since its inception, it has already implemented various projects and programs for integrated quality education for all.
e-Education Project
e-Education Bangladesh started its journey in January, 2009. It has developed a concept of ‘e-learning’ to provide financially poor students of rural areas with more access to quality education and better lessons via Information Communication Technology (ICT). e-Education initially selected the students of higher secondary level to provide study materials and lectures recorded in DVDs (Digital Video Disks). The study contents recorded in DVDs aimed to help the selected students with the preparation of their HSC (Higher Secondary Certificate) and university entrance exams. DVD-based lectures were guided and prepared by efficient and trained teachers who have become adroit in pertinent subjects such as Bengali, English, Accounting, Management etc.
Learning through audio-visuals (i.e. watching and listening) has a great influence on students in terms of effective learning. As a result, DVD-based lectures are gaining popularity in helping underprivileged students in rural areas. Ever since 2009, a large number of students are joining e-Education to pursue a consistent and higher quality of education. From 2009 to 2016, more than 12,000 students from different areas, especially from Chandpur and three other districts, directly or indirectly participated in e-Education and have benefited greatly.
