Btw Bilal bhai
Do you think there is a role for NGOs like BRAC, to bridge our skills shortages? In the last 50 years, the challenge was to get enough kids to be able to read. But now they need to learn, as opposed to memorizing stuff by heart. We need critical thinkers and future innovators.
In the past, it was the NGOs that did a lot of the hard work when it came to illiteracy eradication, family planning, health, etc. Bangladesh as a state had very few resources, which was sort of a blessing in disguise. It prompted our NGOs to come up with fairly innovative social engineering policies, which were implemented from a grass-roots level, as opposed to some top-down dictate. As much as I know, Bangladesh is fairly unique at that.
I think BRAC already has several ongoing schemes aimed at better access to skills development. But we need many more.
BRAC et al should start to think about reconfiguring their operations for the next stage of Bangladesh's development. We face new challenges now. Just surviving isn't good enough. We need to strive.
