Title : ODEC-PSN project- Uttar Salimpur CODEC School
Description : ODEC-PSN project commenced in 2011 to improve the lives of traditional fisherfolk community from Jaladas village in Uttar Salimpur, Sitakundu, through education. Most of the inhabitants of this community are engaged in fishing adjacent to Bay-of-Bengal for their livelihood purposes. It has been a core area for CODEC’s development interventions since 1985 and over time this educational support extended to children from other communities through CODEC’s CSR initiatives. A community school was established following the national curriculum where National days and cultural events are celebrated to enrich the educational experience via student engagement and participation in different competitions. The School Management Committee ensures the smooth functioning of the school with collaborative efforts from local authorities and the Upazila Education Officer, providing essential and need-based support, and consistently receiving appreciation from local stakeholders for CODEC’s activities.
