Established in September 2013 with a noble mission, OBHIZATRIK School stands as a beacon of hope for the underprivileged and less-privileged children of our society. From a small start with only 25 students in an open field, OBHIZATRIK School has expanded into three branches: Mirpur and Rayerbazar in Dhaka, and Charlata in southern Patuakhali.
At OBHIZATRIK School, we believe in the transformative power of education, transcending boundaries of gender, race, class, or ethnicity. With a current enrolment of 600 students across our branches and a track record of nurturing 2500 young minds, we are committed to providing not just academic excellence but also holistic development.
In Bangladesh, about 52% of children who lack foundational reading skills are within the bottom two wealth quintiles (UNICEF, 2023). However, at OBHIZATRIK School, we strive to provide quality education to all children, regardless of their socio-economic background. Our enrolment rate has consistently been high, with a significant increase of 17.41% from 2022 to 2023 in our Mirpur branch (OBHIZATRIK Foundation, 2024).
While the national completion rate of primary education in Bangladesh stands at 83%, the completion rate of higher secondary education declines to 29% (World Bank, 2023). In contrast, OBHIZATRIK School boasts a passing rate of 200% in 2024 in the Mirpur branch (OBHIZATRIK Foundation, 2024).
Our student body consists of 44.94% boys and 59.06% girls.
We pride ourselves on offering a well-rounded curriculum that nurtures the cognitive and physical well-being of every child, including those from underprivileged backgrounds. Central to our educational philosophy is the belief that every child deserves access to quality learning experiences that extend beyond the confines of their community.
At OBHIZATRIK School, we are deeply committed to promoting girls’ education and literacy as part of our mission to provide equal opportunities for all children, regardless of gender. We believe that empowering girls through education is not only a matter of justice and equality but also a powerful catalyst for social and economic development.
With a student body consisting of 59.06% girls, we recognize the importance of fostering an environment that supports and encourages their academic and personal growth. Through targeted initiatives and inclusive policies, we strive to address the unique challenges and barriers that girls may face in accessing and pursuing education.
The remarkable growth of Obhizatrik School is evident in its three branches located in Mirpur, Rayerbazar, and the recently established Latarchar branch. The establishment of the Latarchar campus was a momentous milestone, bringing education within reach for children who previously had to traverse arduous distances to attend school in distant villages. Prior to the advent of the school, many of these young souls were trapped in the darkness of child labor, devoid of the illuminating light of knowledge.
Through its comprehensive approach to education, Obhizatrik School weaves a tapestry of hope, resilience, and opportunity for underprivileged children. Recognizing that education is the most potent weapon for effecting societal change, the school, fortified by its dedicated volunteers and generous donors, strives to nurture these change-makers, empowering them to lead their communities towards a brighter tomorrow. In pursuit of eradicating illiteracy and uplifting the community, it serves as a beacon of empowerment, igniting a transformative spark within each student, paving the way for a brighter and more promising future.
Our Highlights:
At OBHIZATRIK School, the inclusion of martial arts training for girls serves as a powerful tool in safeguarding against potential dangers while fostering personal growth. This transformative journey instills discipline, focus, and resilience, empowering girls to navigate the world with confidence and strength.
An awareness campaign tailored specifically for females on the issues of early marriage and child labor is a crucial step towards empowering them with the necessary tools to combat these detrimental practices. Through educational workshops, girls and women are provided with vital information about the adverse effects of early marriage and child labor on their lives, emphasizing their right to education, health, and self-determination.
Family Planning Workshops play a pivotal role in empowering females by providing them with essential knowledge and resources to make informed decisions about their reproductive health. These workshops offer a safe and inclusive space for women and girls to learn about various family planning methods, contraception options, and reproductive health services.
Integrating SRHR sessions into the curriculum not only empowers female students with crucial knowledge but also fosters a culture of openness and understanding around reproductive health topics. Sanitary napkin booths on campus ensure easy access to menstrual hygiene products, promoting dignity and comfort during menstruation while also actively destigmatizing the topic by normalizing their availability.
Regular health checkups within the school setting not only monitor the well-being of female students and staff but also serve as a proactive measure for early detection of health concerns, emphasizing the importance of preventive care.
The significant presence of female teachers and administrators not only provides students with relatable role models but also fosters a supportive learning environment where diverse perspectives and experiences are valued, contributing to a more inclusive educational experience for all.
