Live From Bangladesh: BRAC’s Dr. Erum Mariam Talks Women, Education, and Mental Health

We are thrilled to invite you to the first of BRAC’s 2025 Extraordinary Women Webinar Series. Throughout the year, BRAC USA CEO Julia Roberts will host some of BRAC’s top women leaders. Direct to your screens, our guests will take your questions, and share the latest stories and innovations from BRAC projects. Our first guest is Dr. Erum Mariam, Executive Director of BRAC’s Institute of Educational Development at BRAC University, in Bangladesh. Dr. Mariam completed her PhD in Education from University of Cambridge in 2008. She has extensive experience of scaling up education interventions both nationally and globally, and was involved in the expansion of the unique, BRAC-run, Non-Formal Primary (NFP) Schools in the 1990s. Since 2008, Mariam has promoted BRAC IED’s vision of contributing to the improvement of quality, equity, and efficiency in the education system in partnership with the public sector. The globally recognized Play Labs and Humanitarian Play Labs have been developed under her leadership, focusing on early stimulation and children’s wellbeing in diverse settings.
