Dr Azizullah M Nuruzzaman Nur, Country Chairman of AGS Quality Action Limited handed over the ISO certificate to Asif Saleh, the Executive Director of BRAC.
Ahmed Najmul Hussain, the Director of the Road Safety Programme at BRAC, said, "Road safety cannot be achieved without driver's training, skill and the right attitude to drive safely. Usually drivers receive their training through apprenticeship from another experienced but uncertified driver. As a result, most of these drivers, although performing at professional capacity, are unaware of the road safety rules and practices. BRAC Driving School was established to bridge that gap."
