3.9.2 Historical Background
The National Academy for Educational Management (NAEM) is an apex institution in the fields of Educational Administration and Management, Educational Planning and Research in Bangladesh. It was established in 1959 as Education Extension Center responsible primarily for pedagogic in-service training of secondary school teachers.
The center underwent several roles and structural transformations during the last four decades to meet the changing needs of time and the system of education in the country.
The metamorphosis of NAEM dates back to 1959 when it was established as Education Extension Center. After the emergence of Bangladesh, the center was upgraded and entitled as Bangladesh Education Extension and Research Institute (BEERI) in 1975.
The BEERI was entrusted with additional responsibility for research and management training of education functionaries including College and Madrasah teachers and administrators.
In order to minimize the cost of education and promote effective educational management, the National Institute of Educational Management and Research (NIEMR) was amalgamated with BEERI and renamed as the National Institute for Education Administration Extension and Research (NIEAER) in 1982.
