Support to Secondary Formal Schooling: Chhatrabandhu

Chhatrabandhu literally means ‘friend of the students’ operates solely with individuals who volunteer their time and provide after school free tuition to underprivileged students. They are our poor students’ “off school companion” who helps them to comprehend and internalize difficult concepts and lessons of Mathematics, English and Science. Their supports considerably improve these students’ performance in school, raise their confidence, make them and their parents motivated to continue with their education. It helps students to perform better in internal exams as well as in public exams such as Junior School Certificate (JSC) and Secondary School Certificate (SSC) examination. This widens their opportunity for higher education.

All ‘chhatrabandhu’ (volunteer tutor) receive training from BRAC on English, Math and Science each three day long. Chhatrabandhu is revered as the “social philanthropist” for their extraordinary service to the community.

Currently Chhatrabandhu program has been implemented in 30 Upazilas of 17 districts. These districts are: Jessore, Magura, Natore, Pabna, Rajshahi Rangpur, Bogra, Sirajganj, Tangail, Mymensingh, Gazipur, Dhaka, Comilla, Hobiganj, Moulvibazar, Sunamganj and Chittagong
