Collegiate School pioneer: President
President Zillur Rahman yesterday said Dhaka Collegiate School had pioneered education of the people of this region, particularly the Muslims who lagged behind during the British rule.
“Merely not in the history of Dhaka, the contribution of this educational institution was also recognised by all in the history of the whole subcontinent,” he told a reunion function marking the 175th founding anniversary of Dhaka Collegiate School.
The Dhaka Collegiate School Alumni Association (DCSAA) organised the function at Bangabandhu International Conference Centre in the city.
Chaired by Alumni Association President and Adviser to the Prime Minister HT Imam, the function was also addressed by National Professor Kabir Chowdhury, Alumni Assoiation General Secretary Harun-or-Rashid, and former secretary and chairman of the reunion organising committee Badiur Rahman.
Zillur said the development and progress of western education took place in the country following the path showed by Dhaka Collegiate School.
“The institution made special contribution as a bridge between eastern and western education.”
He mentioned that Ratnamoni Gupta was a noted former headmaster of the school from 1888-1896 and during his tenure students from this school stood first in the intermediate examination consecutively for eight years under the Calcutta University.
HT Imam expressed dissatisfaction over the present result of the students from this school.
