Background

Since establishing schools within Dhaka city in 1984 BPF gradually extended its schools to other areas outside Dhaka through its Home Based Rehabilitation (CBR) (link) strategies utilizing, among other programs, the Distance Training Package (DTP) Having been convinced of the concepts of the two social models, ie, of Disability and Inclusion, BPF extended its program to work towards education for children with and without disabilities irrespective of gender, ethnicity, minority, linguistic differences, religion etc. Keeping these objectives in mind, BPF started the project “BPF Kalyani Inclusive Schools” in October 1999 at their center in Mirpur, Dhaka. Since then BPF has been working to create child-friendly and rights-based inclusive schools for children across Bangladesh; and facilitating their inclusion into mainstream schools. Presently 9 schools are operational.
