Strengthening collaboration between the government and non-government organisations will be critical to achieving the goals of the Fifth Primary Education Development Programme (PEDP-5). Key priorities include developing a structured GO–NGO collaboration framework; accelerating foundational literacy and numeracy outcomes; expanding support for inclusive, climate-resilient and digital learning; strengthening education services in hard-to-reach areas; integrating NGO data into national systems; and enhancing disaster preparedness, health, nutrition and WASH initiatives in primary schools.
These were the strategic priorities for 2026–2031 under PEDP-5 presented at the ‘GO–NGO Collaboration Dialogue: Strengthening Partnerships and Coordination for Transformative Primary Education under PEDP-5’, organised jointly by the Directorate of Primary Education (DPE) and BRAC on Monday, 29 June 2026, at BRAC Centre in Dhaka.
