Bangladesh Shishu Academy

Bangladesh Shishu Academy (BSA) is the national academy for children in Bangladesh. It was established in 1976 with the view to the development of physical, mental, cultural and latent talent of children and thus build up the future nation builders as efficient citizens.

Every year, more than 30 events have implemented all over the country with three regular activities like cultural training, National children award competition and SBK and Pre-school programme.
