The literacy rate of Bangladesh is 59.82% from which 57% of the population is considered literate in Dhaka city and can read and write.Because of poverty, a lot of kids in Bangladesh skip school for being unable to bear the education expenses.There are also other kids who are completely uninterested in school or do not know what it even is to counter this problem. In 2009 some of the students of the department of Civil Engineering, University Of Asia Pacific decided to consult Professor Dr. M.R.Kabir about it, Which lead to the decision of starting up a short-term pre-schooling after class school activities with the help of the professors for the financially challenged children . The students of the department of Civil Engineering, University Of Asia Pacific ventured out into the slums of Dhaka city to search for such deprived children and finally started first class in the 2nd July ,2009 . Since then, the students of Civil Engineering, University Of Asia Pacific have been conducting 6 month long classes for such deprived children. The student of Civil Engineering, University Of Asia Pacific has not only been providing pre school education to the children and also providing the children with behavioral and social education along with enhancing their creativity and interests .
