The journey of Teacher’s Portal started with 23 teachers who asked a simple question – “Who should make contents for teaching the students?” They went on to creating a social media platform and start sharing teaching contents prepared by them with fellow educators. Their philosophy was that teaching content should be customized to each classroom and created by teachers themselves, instead of consultants and companies. 

That innocuous portal, started by the 23 teachers in 2011, has now grown into a popular, full-fledged social media site and is now the largest online educational content storage and professional development platform in Bangladesh, boasting more than 575,000 teachers as active members. Teacher’s Portal works as a peer-to-peer capacity development hub for teachers where they can collaborate to create more quality educational contents that meet the specific needs of the pupils in their respective classrooms. It also embodies recognition for the teachers and motivates them via intrinsic and extrinsic means. The transformation of education in Bangladesh has really been teacher-led, teacher-driven, and learner-focused. The Teacher’s Portal is playing a crucial role in this transformation journey.
