Central Women’s University Advances Digital Skills Agenda at DS2S Country Planning Meeting 2026

Central Women’s University proudly participated in the Country Planning Meeting 2026 under the Digital Skills to Succeed (DS2S) project, held from 19–22 April 2026 at Sarah Resort, Rajabari, Gazipur. A team of 11 members, including the Honorable Vice Chancellor and Registrar, joined a total of 38 participants - which included GIZ staff and delegates from partner universities - Begum Rokeya University, Rangpur, and Ahsanullah University of Science and Technology, as representatives from Central Women’s University. The meeting focused on reviewing progress updates from 2025, discussing the development of individual partner universities’ plans, and setting milestones and precise targets for 2026. Participants also explored the scope of establishing a country-level hub and gave their proposals to initiate the establishment of a country-level hub to advance digital education among DS2S partner universities in Bangladesh as well as to carry on with the sustainability of the project. Such an active participation from Central Women’s University, a specialized university dedicated to women's education, serves an important role. It is a step forward in empowering women with essential digital skills, contributing not only to individual growth but also to national development. Furthermore, CWU's involvement in this initiative demonstrates its institutional support to strengthen digital skills, innovation, and inclusive higher education in Bangladesh.
