In Bangladesh, many secondary teachers, particularly in urban slums and rural districts, face challenges in delivering quality education due to limited access to updated pedagogical resources, teaching methods, and digital tools. While the curriculum is increasingly focused on modern skills, educators often lack the necessary training to effectively engage students and incorporate interactive methods into their teaching.

According to an internal assessment (July 2024), many teachers in rural and slum areas struggle with limited teaching materials and lack of exposure to current teaching technologies. TDH Italia’s “Somotar Alo – Light of Equality” project aims to address these challenges by training teachers in effective pedagogical approaches that incorporate technology and modern teaching techniques.
