Finding best
English medium schools in Dhaka, among a large
number of modern education-oriented schools, is comparatively a tough job. This
is because the Bangladesh capital
city of Dhaka
has been recognized as the education hub of the country. Eventually, a good
number of convent schools, based in this city, are very successfully serving a large
pool of students, imparting quality education. Such a trend has been observed
since the country acquired it independence in the year of 1971. If we look back
in the history of the per-independence years of Bangladesh, it can be noted that
English medium schools had been in high demand since the East-Pakistan era.
The
education curriculum, practiced throughout the English medium schools in Bangladesh, has been designed, developed, and
currently being supervised by the British Council in Bangladesh. To educate the future
citizens of this country, the education system is always monitored and improved
following the global education standard practiced worldwide, especially in the
western countries.
