Why Research Matters

Human rights are rights inherent to all human beings, regardless of race, sex, nationality, ethnicity, language, religion, or any other status. Human rights include the right to life and liberty, freedom from slavery and torture, freedom of opinion and expression, the right to work and education, and many more. Everyone is entitled to these rights, without discrimination (UN,2025).

We privilege to review the human right in regards of education to ensure empowerment. To foster empowerment, highly skilled scientific research is urgent need. However, the research resources including journal article, internet and high skilled scientist are not available in the developing countries to formulate policy that marginalize the empowerment. 

We want to claim Research capacity is a human right to push the developing nation for cultural and sustainable development. From a development point of view, there is a typical support from the donor for infrastructure and associated development. The share of intellectual resources are ignored to include development which lack behind the students like me to hook up research skill.

It is worth to mention that developing countries like Bangladesh lacks behind the research specially in the field of cultural empowerment.

From Learning Alone to Learning Together: Club Collaboration Worldwide

A club is an association of people united by a common interest or goal. A service club, for example, exists for voluntary or charitable activities. There are clubs devoted to hobbies and sports, social activities clubs, political and religious clubs, and so forth.

Membership clubs are not just places where people can have fun and socialize. They play an essential role in supporting the well-being of the community. Clubs often take the lead in supporting local charities and organizing events that benefit the community.

The learning methodology in developing countries like Bangladesh is fully articulated on theory-based education, which usually focuses on private tutoring or coaching. Tutoring or private coaching does not allow the students to grow their school of innovation.

The tutors are active in delivering their assumptions on the students, which reduces the self-esteem of the learner. This is not only an intellectual burden but also very costly with the present living demand of Bangladesh.  

Hence, we promote international CLUB culture to network with the same intellectual arena to exchange research, cultural ties, and networking for potential empowerment. This is budget-friendly and innovative to present globally as well as locally.

WCEI will develop network with the International Clubs to tie the Bangladeshi students with the global channel to transform their customary thoughts to modern education and cultural appreciation.

If you would like to connect with international clubs and be part of this collaborative network, please contact us
