The Access Program, a flagship initiative of the U.S. Department of State, operates in 85 countries, including Bangladesh. Since 2018, GEIST International Foundation has been a proud implementing partner, working to empower underprivileged youth through English language education.

As part of ongoing teacher development efforts, GEIST organized the Bangladesh Access Teachers’ Training 2023 from October 12–14 at Grand Sultan Tea Resort & Golf, Sreemangal, with funding support from the RELO, U.S. Department of State. The event brought together 30 Access teachers from Dhaka, Sylhet, and Chattogram.

Sessions were facilitated by experts from RELO Kathmandu, the U.S. Embassy Dhaka, three U.S. Fellows, and local professionals including Mr. Mohib Ullah (IIUC) and Mr. Pranab Kanti Deb (SIU & GEIST Sylhet). The training focused on innovative teaching strategies, collaboration, and professional growth.

We thank the U.S. Embassy Dhaka, our trainers, and the GEIST team for their dedication in making the program a success.
