The book reading competition creates access to “Best of British” resources, develops reading habit, especially in English, and helps acquiring English language skill among young learners and adult students. Under this program, 600 teachers were involved in different activities like teachers training, teaching reading workshop and career counselling. Not only that, the British Council has sponsored two of the coordinators for Book Reading programme for their CELTA course and 12 teachers for the BELTA Conference 2018.
The book-reading program reached around 32,000 students across Bangladesh who got rewarded for their outstanding performances. Both the coordinators and the students under the book reading programme got the opportunity to build up networks and new connections through The British Council’s multi-dimensional cultural centre platform.
Sarwat Masuda Reza, Head of Cultural Centre, the British Council said, “This programme is our proud initiative for enlightening thousands of Bangladeshi students with the enriched contents of world literature.
I personally believe that the students should be introduced with the jewels of literatures at an early age. We hope to engage a bigger number of students next year for this programme.”
Currently, the British Council is in partnership with 88 educational institutions, which includes schools, colleges, universities and Bangladesh Military Academy (BMA).
