Abstract:
BRAC initiated an Education programme in 1985 to provide free primary education opportunity to the disadvantaged children of the poor community through its non-formal primary education intervention. Various development partners generously donated in this great effort which enabled BRAC to operate the education programme in a philanthropic approach for thirty-one years. In 2015, Bangladesh achieved ‘lower middle-income country’ status which caused a shrink in receiving the foreign donations. BRAC therefore adopted a cost recovery approach in 2016. The parents now pay a lump sum tuition fee for educating their children in BRAC’s primary schools.
