After a long wait, 150 street children enrolled in Shishu Kalyan Primary School of Chittagong have seen their desire of getting a school dress, like other students, to have come true.
These underprivileged children studying in Shishu Kalyan Primary School had long been demanding a school dress to their teachers.
Chittagong district administration distributed school dresses among 150 street children of Shishu Kalyan Primary School at Patharghata in the city yesterday.
Mesbah Uddin, deputy commissioner (DC) of Chittagong , distributed the school dresses among the students of Class I to Class V at a programme held at Savitri Sudha Primay School at around 1:00pm.
“The street children don’t have any school. They were attached with Savitri Sudha Primay School at Patharghata. In the evening, they were taught in the school. When they came to school, usually they saw other students of the school wearing school dresses. Seeing their dresses, they demanded dresses from their teachers,” said Md Dowlatuzaman Khan, additional deputy commissioner (Education) of Chittagong.
“The children were collected from different slums and street of the city, so they don’t have ability to buy a school dress. The teachers informed the matter to the DC. The district administration took the initiative to fulfill their desire,” added the ADC.
“Getting the dresses, the children got extremely happy,” said the ADC. Nasrin Sultana, district primary education officer, and teachers of Shishu Kalyan Primary School were present at the dress distribution programme, among others.
