FREE education for both girls and boys. Why not?
It may sound odd to us, but in this part of the world, girls still struggle to enjoy the same rights and opportunities taken for granted by boys. At CO-ID, we are striving to change the perception that education is wasted on girls and provide equal opportunities to both sexes
Our schools provide a free education system to all students. This also covers their stationery needs as well as other necessities. There's also no payment for exams and The Bangla Government provides text books free..
The mothers are also involved in the school committee. This encourages children stay at school even when they get to 9 or 10 years old, an age where many go out to work, not through choice but necessity.
When students leave the school, they find they are able to find work much more easily as they are able to read and write - sought-after skills on Bhola Island.
