BRAC Bank and British Council launch English Speech Competition

February 25, 2025 00:00:00


BRAC Bank, in collaboration with the British Council, has jointly launched an 'English Speech Competition' for school students to nurture their extracurricular talent.

The initiative is aimed at enhancing English proficiency, public speaking skills, and leadership development among school students in Bangladesh. BRAC Bank supports this youth-centric initiative under the banner of its Agami proposition, which is a complete range of student banking services.

BRAC Bank, British Council, and Toastmasters International have entered into a partnership agreement to launch the Speech Contest. The signing ceremony, held at the British Council's Fuller Road office, marks the beginning of a transformative journey for young learners.

With participation from 33 schools across five divisions, students from grades 9 to 12 will be able to showcase their articulation, confidence, and critical thinking abilities in a competitive setting.

The competition will unfold through preliminary, regional, and final rounds, where participants will be evaluated based on content, delivery, and language proficiency. Ultimately, two champions will be crowned, recognising their exceptional talent and mastery of spoken English.

This collaboration underscores a shared commitment to empowering the next generation of leaders by equipping them with essential communication skills for academic and professional success.
