In the evening after classes they stay back and do their homework, offer the night prayer, have their dinner, and go home.
“I had applied for the award and forgotten all about it. When I got the news that our school has been chosen for the award, I and my team were exhilarated. We have been struggling to keep the school functioning smoothly, which despite being aided by the government is running with hiccups because the government has stopped recruiting teachers in place of the retired ones. Hence, we are recruiting private teachers and are paying the teachers’ salaries from our pockets” explained Khalid Hasan, who is an Advocate and now the Academic Administrator and PRO of the school. He received the award on behalf of the school.
“We are managing the school with donations from generous donors and have started an English Medium school to cover at least some of the expenses.
This is the first award received by Ashraful Madaris High School in its 110-year history. “I am sure this school will witness many more glorious days ahead”, said Khalid Hasan who has been at the helm of the affairs of the school for the last one year and whose tenure has been extended till 2026 as the Academic Administrator of the School.
