Canadians have helped create nearly 200 pre-schools and daycares where trained teachers help students learn at an early age. Nearly half of all children in Bangladesh leave school without completing their primary education. Aga Khan Foundation Canada and local partner NGOs are working to make early childhood programs better and easier to access. Canadian support has helped create new parenting, daycare and pre-school programs in some of the country’s poorest regions. These programs have given more than 7,000 children a head start on preparing for primary school and beyond. This early engagement inspires children to stay in school and break the cycle of poverty.
