Chairperson's Message:

“If you tell me what type of courses you have in your education system, I will tell you what type of quality you haven’t got so far.”

When it comes to promoting standards, accountability and student achievement, well-designed, research-based teaching and assessments are fundamental. And it’s as true in the Bangladesh as it is in the US and in the scores of other countries that are turning to high-quality teaching and assessments to help improve education.

Tests and quality go hand in hand. At S@ifur's, we’re doing our part. We’re listening to educators, parents and institutions. We’re learning from sound research. And we’re leading the effort to achieve informed public policy and informed educational practice.

Best Regards,
Khalilur Rahman Khan (KRK Sir)
