The Badshah Faisal Islamic Institute (BFII) in Jessore is the most
recent addition to the Global Connections and Exchange Program network
in Bangladesh. Its internet learning center came fully online this
summer, and the school has fully integrated computer learning into the
curriculum. Each of the more than 900 high school students in the
school, boys and girls, have regular classes in the ILC.
The three Bangladeshi teachers selected to participate in a three week
exchange visit to the United States departed today from Bangladesh. The
exchange is part of the Global Connections and Exchange Program, a
cultural and education program sponsored by the US Department of State.
