A substantial number of dropouts also cannot get back to school. A large number of children cannot enter the formal education system due to various reasons. But it is not possible to bring all sections of the people under the formal education system. The country has a very high level of illiteracy although its constitution recognises basic education as a fundamental right and the universal primary education as a basic state policy. This project continued even after independence of Bangladesh. In 1963, an adult education section was opened at Comilla BARD campus under a pilot project of the directorate of public instruction. After the death of Beaver in 1962, the programme stagnated. It produced 24 books for adult learning including 12 for neo-literates. Inspired and encouraged by Beaver, the East Pakistan Adult Education Cooperative Society came into existence. In 1956, HGS Beaver, a bureaucrat of government established a 'Literacy Centre' at Dhaka and his associates developed a primer and some charts as learning materials. But the programme approached a closure due to the Second World War.Īfter 1947, it was revived through individual initiatives. Adult education programme was brought under the newly formed rural development department of the provincial government. In 1939, Frank Luebac's campaign of 'Each One Teach One' gained popularity among the masses. Several attempts had been initiated from 1935 onwards at the central, community and individual levels for adult literacy and universal primary education.
By 1926, over a thousand night schools were functioning. In furtherance of the foregoing, ICCES is committed to maintaining high standards of Integrity, Effectiveness, Efficiency, Productivity and Team work through respect for each other.Non-Formal education was formally launched in this country in 1918 when an attempt was made to start adult education in night schools. ¨ Build the competency levels of ICCES graduates to be competitive in the market place and encourage cooperative group formation among them, to access micro credit for their business set up. ¨ Build the administrative capacity of the Directorate and Regional Secretariats for effective service delivery. ¨ Enhance the service delivery capacity of ICCES staff at all levels through training and re-training. ¨ Develop Competency Based Training (CBT) and demand driven Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) programmes in ICCES.
