We are happy to announce that the total number of people participating in the glorious World's Biggest Lesson throughout Bangladesh, as so far reported to CAMPE GAW Control Room, is 2.8 million. We are yet to receive reports from organizations in some parts of the country and assume that the total participation will increase by a significant more number.

People from all walks of life participated in the Biggest Lesson, along with leaders, local elites and public functionaries who vowed fresh commitments towards establishing everyone's right to quality basic education and creating an enabling environment as well. The GAW observing partners including number of unconventional organizations and professional bodies like members of law enforcing agencies, fisher folks in the coastal belt, indigenous people, domestic child workers, organizations working with visually challenged people as well as people from disadvantaged groups who are downtrodden among the downtrodden organized the event in their vicinity and reported by fax, e-mail and cell-phone messages of which validations signed by local elites followed.

The Biggest Lesson held at places (at least 25000 places) with due fervor and festivity inducing to the participants the theme of GAW 2008—no one will be missed out from quality education and contributing momentum to the overall education campaign in the country, whereas the photographs and video footage sent by the organizations represent further evidence of the historic event.

CAMPE, on behalf of the participating organizations, published in two largely circulated national dailies, namely the Daily Protham Alo and the Daily Star, wake up calls (public appeals) requesting people of all walks to be part of the new prospective world record. Bangladesh Television (BTV) including all private TV channels of the country covered the event in their primetime news with more importance.
