Charfashion Government T. Barret Model Secondary School (Bengali: চরফ্যাশন সরকারি টি ব্যারেট মডেল মাধ্যমিক বিদ্যালয়) is a government secondary school located in Char Fasson, Bhola District, Bangladesh. It is one of the oldest and most prominent educational institutions in the southern coastal region of the country.[1]
History
During the British colonial period, there was no formal educational institution in the Char Fasson area. In response, the then Bakergonj District Collector, Tufnell Barret, established the school in 1932 and donated approximately 125 acres of land in its favor. Several local educators volunteered to teach in the early years, including Ahammadullah Master, Mugbul Ahmmad (B.A., B.T.), Babu Surendra Mohon Dutta, and Amzad Hossen. Among them, Babu Surendra Mohon Dutta became the school’s first headmaster.
From 1933 to 1945, the institution functioned as a junior school. Later, it was upgraded to a high school under the University of Calcutta. In 1948, a group of students from this school appeared for the Entrance Examination for the first time, and all of them passed successfully. Over the years, students have achieved distinction in the Secondary School Certificate (SSC) examinations.
The school was recognized as a model secondary school in 2008. At present, it has a computer laboratory, a science laboratory equipped with modern instruments, and a library containing a diverse collection of books.[2] Many of its alumni are working across Bangladesh and abroad as doctors, engineers, lawyers, and scientists.[1][3]
Development
The school was nationalized and recognized as a government model school in 2008. It operates under the Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education, Barisal and is known for its long-standing contribution to education in Bhola District.[3]
Facilities
The school has a library, science laboratory, and computer lab. The library holds more than 500 books, including government-provided and NGO-supplied collections.[2]
