Abstract

Temporary labour migration from Bangladesh to the Middle East is commonplace, but workers are often at risk of being exploited because they don't speak the local language or lack basic skills. The Government of Bangladesh offers training but in the past the time and cost commitments involved have been prohibitive for many aspiring migrants. Here Ayesha Khanom and Shakhwatul Islam discuss how m/e-learning platforms are making the training more accessible to all citizens, particularly women.
