Bangladesh faces persistent barriers to girls’ access to education which lead to lower enrollment rates and higher dropout rates.
The Clé de Peau Beauté for UNICEF partnership is taking a unique approach to dismantle these barriers by empowering girls with essential skills, while fostering gender-inclusive education.
The Clé de Peau Beauté for UNICEF partnership is building a scalable national education system with Bangladesh’s National Curriculum and Textbook Board (NCTB).
Through the partnership’s support, accessible, gender-responsive and skill-based curricula, textbooks, and trainings are being rolled-out to equip teachers and students for the 21st century.
In the week of March 3, 2024, a group of Clé de Peau Beauté and UNICEF representatives including Ms. Mizuki Hashimoto, Chief Brand Officer of Clé de Peau Beauté, visited Bangladesh to see how the NCTB is transforming the education system.
