Earlier Miah Abdul Hakim, headmaster of the school, spoke about the outstanding results of the institution in public and scholarship examinations and other extra-curriculum activities.

He said the success rate in public examinations is 100 percent.

Impressed by the outstanding results, the state minister assured the teachers and guardians of the school of its inclusion in Monthly Pay Order (MPO) and removing its other problems.

"Mirpur lacks quality schools despite huge population density. So, I'll do whatever necessary to turn the school a good one," he added.
