The institute named Kafco School and College (KSC) is known for its teacher-student relationship concept and conspicuous teaching style.

The institute got a modern shape after a massive reform at the initiative of newly appointed Kafco Managing Director Dr Peter Allen Ma.

KSC provides the students with books, pens and dresses as well as offers free-studentship in some cases.

With a view to offering quality education to the children of Kafco officials and employees, the institute was set up on the Kafco premises in 1995 amid the picturesque beauty of Rangadia - just on the other bank of the river Karnaphuli.

KSC has marked a rapid progress for its systemic and disciplined method of teaching, including regular class tests and close monitoring by the teachers.

Peter said "We have reformed the institute with a view to offering a better education to the students so that they can grow as worthy citizens. We want to train them up as skilled manpower so that they can contribute to the country and bring in a positive change in the society."

The Kafco, which was previously a loosing company, has turned into a profit-making organisation during the last 18 months.

A group of journalists visited the school.

The school has a good educational environment free from politics. Regular classes and the most disciplined atmosphere made the institute different from others.

Besides, the authorities also put a great emphasis on co-curriculum activities like sports, scouting, handicrafts, debate, dance and songs in the institute.
