The Challenge

No unified platform for
130,000 schools

Bangladesh's primary education system — encompassing 130,000 schools, over 693,000 teachers, and 22 million students — had no unified digital management platform. School data was scattered across paper records and disconnected local systems, making it nearly impossible for government administrators to make informed policy decisions.

The Ministry of Primary and Mass Education needed a comprehensive digital platform that could handle teacher management, student enrollment tracking, school infrastructure monitoring, and resource allocation — all accessible from the national level down to individual schools.

A critical constraint was Bangladesh's uneven internet infrastructure. Many rural schools lacked reliable connectivity, meaning the system had to support mobile and offline workflows to be truly nationwide in scope.

Our Approach

Scalable, secure,
and offline-ready

DSi built a comprehensive enterprise-grade education information management system in partnership with UNICEF and the Asian Development Bank (ADB). The platform was designed using Java and Spring with Kubernetes orchestration for horizontal scalability.

To address connectivity challenges, DSi developed mobile and offline functionality using Android native apps, allowing teachers and administrators in rural areas to input data without internet access and sync when connectivity became available.

Data visualization dashboards built with Metabase and JasperSoft give government decision-makers real-time insights into education metrics — from district-level teacher attendance to national enrollment trends. The system integrates with other national government platforms through standardized APIs.
