Gibson visits JAAGO School

British High Commissioner in Dhaka Robert W Gibson yesterday visited JAAGO School at Rayer Bazar in the capital and appreciated the role of JAAGO Foundation calling it a ‘game changer’, reports UNB.  “This is a game changer. The JAAGO Foundation and its founder Korvi Rakshand have demonstrated that with support from the business community and dedicated youth leaders and volunteers, people’s lives can be changed,” he said. The British diplomat said bringing mainstream education to a group of children who would not normally have any access is truly inspirational.  “Also giving them access to an online learning experience not only open’s their horizons but allows them to develop essential skills for the future. I hope this joint venture inspires others to contribute to society in Bangladesh,” Gibson said. JAAGO School was the first school initiated by JAAGO Foundation focusing on delivering quality education to underprivileged children in slums. Eight years later the children from the school are now sitting their Junior Secondary Education Examinations. As part of the visit the High Commissioner saw how the new online school, a joint venture between Jaago and Grameenphone, Agni System Ltd was working.
