School Program (SP) is the backbone of Agami’s programs, projects, and initiatives (PPI) in driving holistic and quality education for the underprivileged children in Bangladesh. In 2003, Agami started its operation by engaging with one school in Cumilla with a humble funding of $1500. In the beginning, the focus was to support critical needs like teachers’ salary, tiffin, textbooks, uniform, scholarships etc.
Over the years, the scope, reach, and activities expanded significantly.We started supporting science labs, computer labs, libraries in an effort to improve the quality of education. As we started introducing new PPIs, SP infrastructure has been an effective means to try out innovative methods and approaches. Our long partnership with Khan Academy (KA) started with converting KA multi-media content into Bangla and rolling out into selected Agami Schools.
With the experience of decade long journey and multiple projects under our belt, Agami became the leader in EdTech based educational efforts in Bangladesh. SP has been effectively leveraged to introduce many other quality initiatives like Life is Fun (LiF), Teachers’ Training (TT), Agami Chess Guild, (ACG), Improving English Teaching (IET). Here is a quick look back at the Agami SP by numbers.
