Today, BRAC has emerged as an independent, virtually self-financed paradigm in sustainable human development. It is the largest in the world employing 97,192 people, with the twin objectives of poverty alleviation and empowerment of the poor. Through experiential learning, BRAC today provides and protects livelihoods of around 100 million people in Bangladesh. Diagnosing poverty in human terms and recognising its multidimensional nature, BRAC approaches poverty alleviation with a holistic approach. BRAC's outreach covers all 64 districts of the country and furthermore, has been called upon to assist a number of countries including Afghanistan and Sri Lanka.


From the time of its modest inception in 1972, BRAC recognised women as the primary caregivers who would ensure the education of their children and the subsequent inter-generational sustainability of their families and households.

4. Major functions of the Organisation :

Basic School System (BSS)

This is an innovative alternative education for unenrolled and adolescent dropouts, evolved by CMES over the last 20 years. This comprises of an integrated package of a life-oriented basic (primary) education, skill training & profitable practice in appropriate technology, and home to home interventions in health and environment – all three components interacting with each other making education richer and more meaningful for the target group.

Adolescent Girls` Program (AGP)

This program has been one of the first gender interventions in the country targeting the adolescents. AGP tries to empower the girls through continued education; skill training; non-stereotype livelihood activities earning cash income; awareness and actions about health, reproductive health and rights; preventing early marriage and working towards an emancipated womanhood. CMES has been selected by UNICEF to replicate its AGP within UNICEF's 'Kishori Abhijan' (Adolescent Girl's Exploration) started from January 2001, the only other program in it being BRAC's APON (Adolescents' Peer organized Network).

 

 5. Objectives

               

i)          An effective education model for the target group including skill training in technology and business, that would bring the world of education closer to the world of work.

 

ii)        Gender empowerment of adolescents and youth, the girls in particular, to establish gender equity and to enable them realize their potential economically and socially.

 

iii)       Adaptation of profitable appropriate technologies to be commercialized at the level of the rural youth creating self-employment and employment for them.

 

iv)      Creating a wider impact of the project through dissemination, and replications,

 

5. THE OVERVIEW OF CMES   BRIEF HISTORY

 

Centre for Mass Education in Science (CMES) was established in 1978 with an aim to take science and technology to the grass root people through appropriate mass education. Even before its establishment as a NGO, we were pursuing its aims through our popular science monthly ‘Biggan Samoeeki’ starter in 1960, along with its associated science clubs and young enthusiasts throughout the country. CMES soon focused its attention on the disadvantaged rural adolescents and youth – arranging an appropriate education for those of them who are never enrolled or drop out from schools. The result was the Basic School System (BSS) starting in 1981which evolved over the years to become more appropriate with an integrated approach emphasizing livelihood skills and gender empowerment. The latter aspect was further enhanced by the start of the Adolescent Girls Program in 1991. The combined BSS and AGP has now developed into a replicable model working in 22 different rural areas of the country in 11 districts. Over these developments we have given utmost importance to innovative approaches to education, appropriate technology and empowerment. For this we have developed a strong R&D program not only in developing methods, materials, and products, but also in the commercialization of the technology through the micro enterprises of the rural youth – appropriately trained and empowered for this. CMES thus concentrated on bringing the world of education closer  to the world of work.

 

THE VISION AND MISSION OF CMES

 

The Vision

 

i.   All adolescents and young people can pursue an education, effective in their life and livelihood, irrespective of their gender, economic situation of the family, or any other special situation. In case some of them have to discontinue in the formal system for some reason, they can always avail an alternative opportunity for a meaningful continuation.

ii. At the same time, all adolescents and young people, irrespective of their gender, and of any disadvantage they might suffer from, should be empowered to assert their rights and avail equal opportunities for pursuing a decent quality of life.

iii. Appropriate existing and emerging technologies can be adapted by the rural young people, to practice at the market level for the betterment of their life and livelihood.

 

The Mission

i.         To provide alternative and diverse options to young people so that they can make best for themselves according to their circumstances, aptitude and wishes. The options should come in terms of education, skill training, livelihood opportunities etc. These should be use-friendly, participatory effective and sustainable for all concerned.

ii.        To connect the disadvantaged young people with the wider market where they can profitably operate, and also to connect then with the appropriate emerging technologies to their benefit.

iii.      To empower the young people to assert their rights, to develop their personalities and self esteem as useful and contributing citizens of the country; with especial attention to gender equity and gender empowerment of adolescent girls and young women.
