Happy 55th Independe

Happy 55th Independence Day, Bangladesh!

COL’s work in Bangladesh spans open schooling, higher education, technology-enabled learning, and skills for work. Together with government, institutions, and civil society, we have recently:

• Supported the development of Open Educational Resources (OER) policies in 20 institutions
• Provided online skills courses to more than 14,700 learners
• Enrolled over 1,100 boys and girls in the open schooling system

Progress in gender equality and women’s empowerment has also been a strong focus. In less than five years, 395 policymakers and senior officials have been trained in gender equality and gender-based violence prevention, and COL’s Empowering Women and Girls Project (EWG) have delivered vocational and community-based training to women and girls across 93 villages.

COL is proud to support Bangladesh’s ongoing efforts to build a more inclusive, skilled, and future-ready society.
