A project to increase hope, aspiration, and self-determination among rural students
“RTAP scholarship test has become one of the most exciting educational events among high school students in Delduar Upazilla of Tangail,” – the Headmaster of F. R. Khan High School echoed the sentiments of Delduar students, parents, and teachers. Delduar Upazilla has 26 High Schools with a student population of about 15,000. Since the time SpaandanB started this pilot project in 2003 to bring hope among rural students, it has been a great journey for all to see how the RTAP project is motivating thousands of students to work hard to compete and win. The average passing rate for S.S.C. candidates has increased to 70% and up compared to pre-RTAP times. About 50% of the RTAP scholarship recipients have got golden GPA in the recent S.S.C Exams. One of the goals of RTAP project is to create role models out of Delduar students themselves who can prove that success is possible even among all the difficulties of their lives. Besides the continuous ground work of SpaandanB Dhaka office and our partner organization, SpaandanB EC families visit Delduar every year and interact with students, teachers, and parents. In one of the visits, an EC member asked the students whether they can dream of being internationally famous and all the hands went up. It is amazing to see the enormous excitement and hope for a bright future. With little help, guidance, and motivational support, these hard-working students, teachers, and parents are ready to build a better future not only for themselves, but also for their community and for Bangladesh.
Each year selected students from all the schools of Delduar upozilla appear in a merit test, devised carefully to evaluate the academic and intellectual aptitude of the students. From the outcome of this merit test, each year 50 talented students are being screened out.
RTAP program provides scholarships to 50 students each year, selected through the Medha test. Each year, 25 stduents are selected from grade six and 25 from grade eight. Each selected student from grade six gets Taka 400 per month for two years and each selected student from grade eight receives Taka 700 per month for two years. So, potentially a student from grade six can get the scholarship for four consecutive years if he/she gets reselected through the Medha test in grade 8.
Computer literacy is part of the education curriculum in the Secondary School Certificate program in Bangladesh, but many schools in the rural area lack computer laboratories.

Taking that into consideration, SpaandanB has been equipping schools at Delduar with computers. As part of the program, …

In the rural environment, a student rarely gets exposed to an environment which can stimulate his/her thinking process.
