The SciBridge Initiative

The most important problems High School Students in Bangladesh face include lack of focus on practical and life-oriented education, limited resources and technology and a poor curriculum. Science education is simply based on theoretical knowledge with a poorer practical curriculum. In public schools in further parts from the capital, most students don’t even attend classes as they seem ineffective. Additionally, they have limited options for extracurricular activities. All of these together impact a student in understanding complex scientific concepts and use them to solve problems. As a result, only a little group of students know clearly about their goals and how they want to achieve it. Our project aims at making students aware of the diversified fields with live interactions with field professionals. As we are focusing on science, we would like to help them experience scientific investigations, projects and research and enflame their interest in science. As we go forward, we would work with parents, teachers, policymakers and students to make a learning-friendly environment in schools.
