Kazi Nasrin Siddiqa
[edit]Founder, President, and Executive Director of ECS - Education & Cultural Society (NGO)
Kazi Nasrin Siddiqa has worked for 25 years as an educationist and development practitioner to promote gender equity and access to quality education in Bangladesh, focusing on barriers to girls’ education such as child marriage and gender violence. In 2010, Nasrin founded the NGO named ECS - Education & Cultural Society[1] and currently serves as its President and Executive Director. Besides, she worked as the Consultant of Education Global Practice, South Asia Chapter of the World Bank. Nasrin is an alumnus of the State Department of International Leaders in Education Program (ILEP). She is the recipient of the ‘Alumni Excellence Award’ from the US Department of State and the “Award of Exceptional Leader of Excellence” for working with girls’ STEM education from Women Economic Forum (WEF), 2021. Noticing the lack of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education for girls in Bangladesh, Nasrin launched a flagship project to expand rural girls’ access to STEM education opportunities. Through different projects supported by U.S. Department of State, IREX and Brookings Institution, ECS established 100 STEM clubs in Bangladesh and trained more than 10,000 teachers to create gender-sensitive classroom environments. Nasrin is doing her PhD research on STEM Education as a research fellow in the Parul University, Gujarat, India. She holds a M.Sc. along with a B.Sc. (Hons.) in Botany from the University of Dhaka. Additionally she holds a MSS in Japanese Studies from the same university.
While at Brookings, Nasrin’s research focused on closing the gendered STEM education gap between rural and urban Bangladeshi students. Her research built on the data she had collected about Bangladesh’s socio-cultural landscape from rural schools to produce a detailed picture of barriers to STEM education for rural girls, as well as finding high level policy solutions.
