About Company

The British Council was founded in 1934 in London.[6] It opened its first branch in Dhaka in 1951 when Bangladesh was a part of Pakistan. On 25 March 1971, at the start of Bangladesh Liberation War, the council office was attacked by Pakistan army, killing 8 East Pakistan Police officers guarding the office. In 2013, the British Council signed a memorandum of understanding with Microsoft Bangladesh to enhance teaching and learning practices.On 16 January 2016, the British Council launched ‘Innovate, Incubate and Grow (IIG): A Social Enterprise Support Programme’ in collaboration with non-profit organisation Change Maker to promote entrepreneurship.

Following the July 2016 Dhaka attack, the British Council temporarily closed its offices to assess security measurements. In 2017 the council built a monument to the police officers killed on the premises in 1971.
