National Life-Skills & Agri-Vocational Integrated Education Model
“করবো কাজ, গড়ব দেশ — সবার আগে বাংলাদেশ”
Bridging the Gap
Bangladesh possesses a massive demographic potential. However, a structural gap remains between academic learning and practical capability. The LIVE Pilot transitions education from merely producing certificate holders to nurturing capable, responsible, and productive citizens ready for the modern economy.
The Challenge
Industries report massive shortages of job-ready workers with practical problem-solving abilities.
Global Markets
Migrant workers remain low-skilled. Early vocational exposure increases their global income potential.
Rural Productivity
Revitalizing agriculture by teaching modern, sustainable farming literacy to the younger generation.
Pilot Scope & Expected Outcomes
The Five Pillars of LIVE
A comprehensive approach integrating practical skills directly into the standard educational framework for students in Grades 5–12.
Integrated School Farms
2–5 acre laboratories for vegetable cultivation, fish farming, and organic fertilizers.
Farm-to-Kitchen
Connecting food production with nutrition, food safety, and responsible consumption.
Life-Skills & Responsibility
Fostering teamwork, leadership, discipline, time management, and community cooperation.
Smart Digital Integration
Hybrid learning via remote master-teachers and modern digital archives complementing hands-on work.
Early Entrepreneurship
Introducing students to value addition, local market dynamics, and small enterprise development to encourage economic initiative.
Implementation Distribution
Strategic allocation across the nation for the pilot phase.
The pilot ensures a balanced geographical reach, utilizing 8 Divisional Institutions anchored by 1 National Model Centre.
Financial Estimates (Per Institution)
Designed as a moderate-cost national experiment.
