    Letter of Intent

    Master's Programme in Education with International and Comparative Specialisation


    Dear Selection Committee,
    I am writing to express my interest in the Master's Programme in Education with International and Comparative
    Specialisation as it has been my career objective to become an expert in educational research particularly in the
    field of Planning, Management and Policy with an aim to contribute in delivering quality education.

    I hold two degrees, one in Economics & other in Early Childhood Development (ECD). My academic work in
    Economics has provided me skills to critically analyze the developmental issues around the world. During my first
    job in a reputed institute, I have realized the interconnectedness between education and development to create
    successful systems, the benefits of quality education and nurturing environments to shape who we are and what
    we can become. To obtain a foundation on how children learn & develop, I completed a MSc. degree in ECD.
    This degree has enlightened me the importance of developmentally appropriate curriculum, the impact of poor
    teaching-learning practices and assessment systems that drive many children out of schools. Last 10 years I
    have been working with curriculum design, pedagogy, assessment, teachers’ training, materials development
    and so on. Now as a Faculty Member, I have developed a keen research interest particularly in education
    policies, practices, planning, management in the context of global change and also like to extend my knowledge
    base on analyzing educational phenomena and situations efficiently to solve problems. Hence, I am writing to
    express my sincere interest to enroll the thesis-based route of this Master’s programme in Education.

    I have gained experiences most relevant to this program during my engagement with various projects with BRAC
    IED, BRAC University. As a team leader of Curriculum-Teaching-Learning unit, I was engaged with an action
    research project which has been designed to provide non-formal education to disadvantaged students.
    Throughout this project, I noticed the distinct features of non-formal model, learned how professionals need to
    develop curriculum, pedagogy to address these children’s’ diverse needs & the rigorous planning to manage the
    centers. During my attachment with Nobodhara School project as a coordinator of Early Grades, I got numerous
    scopes to see how a private school functions and what are the deciding factors of a school’s success in a
    competitive market. Under the DFID Textbook projects in Bangladesh & Pakistan, I have gained hands on
    experience in revising, refining and developing national textbooks, TGs and training manuals. My skills have
    escalated when reviewed and developed the play-based curriculum (for 0-5 years children) of BRAC’s Social
    Enterprise model in Tanzania. Work experiences in these countries have provided me a window of opportunity to
    compare the curriculum, teaching-learning practices and capacity development model of teachers. Currently I
    have been working as a Senior Research Associate and a Faculty Member of ECD program, where I teach,
    coordinate courses and supervise thesis. As part of my thesis I conducted a study on Early Literacy & School
    Readiness and involved with a descriptive research on Framing ECD in Bangladesh. So far, I have supervised
    the qualitative study of 6 students.

    As per my understanding, the structure of this program is an extensive one that critically analyzes & connects
    theory, research and practices; insightfully examines diverse global models of education and deals with various
    approaches of research in terms of planning, management and policy development. Hence, I would like to
    pursue this degree with a high ambition of becoming proficient in these areas and progress towards achieving
    scholarly knowledge. I believe this prestigious degree which has a focus on interdisciplinary scientific inquiry of
    education problems, will provide me required skills to conduct more academic research independently and make
    me ready for pursuing Ph.D. in near future. Keeping in mind my past academic and professional experiences, I
    am confident that I would be able to add value to this specific program. Thank you for your time and considering
    my application.
    Sincerely,
    XXX
