Current Status
Current government projects to promote the education of children in Bangladesh include compulsory primary education for all, free education for girls up to grade 10, stipends for female students, a nationwide integrated education system and a food-for-education literacy movement.

Recent years have seen these efforts pay off and the Bangladesh education system is strides ahead of what it was only a few short years ago.
