school-reopening
Bangladesh is reopening schools after 18 months of closure. Classrooms are open in 50 of BRAC’s non-formal primary schools in the host community of Cox’s Bazar. All facilities are maintaining COVID-19 safety measures, temperature checking, hand washing stations and reduced number of students per class to maintain safe distance.
LEAP-Model
While education facilities have been closed due to the pandemic, learning has continued through innovative solutions such as home-based, tele-learning, and caregiver-led education. The 'lockdown education alternative pathway' (LEAP) model combines innovative modalities to ensure that learning does not take a back seat.
flood-21
Heavy rain, followed by sudden flood and landslide on 27 July swept the Rohingya camps in Cox’s Bazar, leaving seven people dead (including children) and hundreds injured. Warehouses and over half of the households in the camps were fully inundated. Electricity was disrupted in Teknaf, Ukhiya and Cox’s Bazar.
