Bangladesh Community Development

Young Persons 

This project provides the opportunity for out of school hours learning. The main objectives are to provide academic and pastoral assistance to Bangladeshi and Asian children in different schools. Through this project BCD provide access to study centres where students can be given support with their studies particularly with core curriculum subjects, SAT s and G.C.S.E exams. The work of this project continues to build important links with parents, teachers and the University of the First Age (UFA). The BCDSS project also runs 'parenting' classes providing tutelage for parents on how they can assist in their child's education. This project is actively supported by the LEA, Head-teachers, Nansen Primary School, Highfield Primary School, Prince Albert Primary School and local businesses.
