An estimated 13 million students from class 6 to 12 will benefit from the organisation’s Transforming Secondary Education for Results programme, the World Bank said in a statement. The World Bank began supporting secondary education in 1993 through innovation and a stipend project that dramatically increased the enrolment of girls. “Today, Bangladesh is among a few low and low middle-income countries to achieve gender parity in secondary education,” said World Bank Country Director for Bangladesh, Bhutan and Nepal Qimao Fan. Less than 70 percent of primary school students continue to secondary education, while below 60 percent pass class 10. “The current curriculum does not adequately focus on building problem solving skills,” the World Bank said.
