MuktoPaath Facilitating Use of e-Learning in Skills and Professional Development


Description

The 27 directorates under 23 ministries in the Bangladesh government are faced with multilateral challenges when providing training opportunities to professionals, semi-professionals and unemployed persons from their facilities. a2i has developed key partnerships and led a unique project to facilitate coordination and capacity development of institutional content developers and develop a national e-learning platform MuktoPaath (http://muktopaath.gov.bd/login/auth) to promote anywhere-anytime learning by anyone using validated content and relevant performance appraisal. This platform has made meaningful contributions to attaining SDGs goal no 4 (Quality Education) and 8 (Decent Jobs and Economic growth). At a more micro level, it is helping to achieve SDG target 4C of substantially increasing the supply of qualified teachers by 2030.
