Job Description / Responsibility
- 1. About Smart Academy
- A rural Islamic English Medium school founded in 2020 with a mission to provide quality education to underprivileged children in remote areas of Bangladesh.
- Curriculum is a tri-stream model: Cambridge CAIE + Bangladesh NCTB + Islamic Studies (Qur'an, Tajweed, Aqeedah, Seerah, Arabic) — Tarbiyyah (character) and Ta'leem (knowledge) inseparable.
- 500+ students PlayGroup → Class 9 · 40+ teachers · 65+ staff. Class 10 launching January 2027; Classes 11–12 (Science/Commerce/Arts) by 2028.

- Because the campus is rural and remote, online volunteer teachers are not a "nice-to-have" — they are how we bring world-class subject expertise to children whose villages have no access to it.

- One-off Guest — single session — a talk, workshop, or live demo — for industry experts and visiting NRBs.
- 4. Subjects in Demand
