Advancing Foundational Learning in Bangladesh: Insights from Global Best Practices

How can we ensure that every child in Bangladesh develops strong foundational learning skills? The key lies in evidence-based, context-driven solutions and investing in teacher readiness—central themes that emerged during the Accelerating Foundational Learning in Bangladesh: Global Evidence on What Works workshop, hosted by the World Bank and the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO).

Our CEO, Munia Islam Mozumder, proudly represented Teach For Bangladesh, joining esteemed education leaders to discuss practical, research-backed strategies for improving learning outcomes.

Panelists included:

The discussion underscored the importance of system-wide collaboration, localized interventions, and teacher empowerment in strengthening foundational literacy and numeracy. A moment of pride for Teach For Bangladesh was when Dr. Halsey Rogers highlighted our model as a global example of effective education strategies while referencing the 2023 World Bank Smart Buys—a framework identifying the most impactful approaches to improving learning outcomes worldwide.

At Teach For Bangladesh, we remain committed to translating these global insights into meaningful, scalable action. This conversation reinforced the urgency of our mission and the need to expand our efforts to reach more children, especially those in marginalized communities.

It was an honor to contribute to this dialogue alongside such distinguished policymakers, and we look forward to continuing our collective pursuit of transformative change in education.
