Responsibilities & Context

RDRS Bangladesh is working with the governments of Bangladesh, Bhutan, and Nepal are committed to achieving better education outcomes. National Education policies and strategic plans of the countries document their commitment to gender equality and social inclusion in education. However, their education metrics only collect and report data on gender and inclusion-related indicators at the macro level. Such aggregated measures lack information on the quality of the experience children go through, and more importantly, it does not provide any useful information for schools to address issues of equality and inclusion, which are critical for children to feel safe and supported in school, and for them to be able to flourish and embody these values beyond school.

This project aims to create school environments where children are taught and experience gender equality and social inclusion, and actively contribute to shaping these values. It will focus on what children value as essential to living a good life and their ability to do and be, also referred to as children’s valued capabilities.
