Poverty trap

Only a third of women in Bangladesh can read and write. Almost three million children don’t receive any education, and the majority of these are girls.

As a result, it’s very difficult for women to escape the cycle of poverty.

Problems with schools

Even for the children who do go to school, there are many problems. Most schools are completely overcrowded. Drop-out rates are very high; only about a third of children who start primary school actually finish it. Most teachers are overworked and lack proper training.
