INTRODUCTION
It is widely recognized that education is the key to overall development of a nation. It plays a pivotal role to change the lives of the people. Under its education program, MSS has been running Non Formal Primary Education program and MedhaBikashUdyog (Merit Nurture Initiative) respectively since 2006 and 2005.
NON FORMAL PRIMARY EDUCATION (NFPE) SCHOOL
Albeit Bangladesh has made much progress over the past decades by increasing primary school enrolment—yet many school age (6-10 years) children are still out of schools because of poverty which is also responsible for irregular attendance and dropout.
