one of the major projects of the Tauri Foundation. It has two branches
one is in Dhaka and another one is in Rajshahi. The aim of the school is
to enhance the schooling of children with special needs and to work to
establish the rights of disabled children in the community. To achieve
these objectives, it is planned to implement a set of activities.
Further details of these activities together with the achievements of
the reporting year are provided below.
Non-Residential Special Schooling (School for Gifted Children (SGC):
The right to an elementary education is universally recognized and
accepted as a basic human right. In Bangladesh, mainstream schools have
no facilities, accessibility, and the expertise to enable disabled
children to attend. Due to the lack of a proper initiative, not only the
child, but also the country, will be affected in long-run. As a result,
the skills and potential of disabled children are unfulfilled, and in
most cases disabled children grow up to be considered as a burden on
society unable to participate in the development of their community or
the nation as a whole. At the present time, the Tauri Foundation
operates two special needs schools, one at its head office in Lalmatia,
Dhaka and the other in Rajshahi. When it was started in January 2003,
the School for Gifted children in Dhaka had only fourteen students, but
this number has gradually increased to 41.
The school provides special schooling for physically, mentally and
socially challenged children. It follows an effective and appropriate
curriculum, and the teachers design a goal plan for each student depend
upon individual needs and abilities. In addition to academic activities,
the children receive therapeutic and psychological support which helps
them to develop organized behavior so that they can function in daily
life activities. The children also attend various other co-curricular
activities such as sports, games, songs as well as a programme of
picnics and outings. A multidisciplinary staff team, which includes
therapists, special needs teachers and psychologists, ensures the
creation of an atmosphere most favorable to the development and
education of children.
