United Government Primary School of Bagerhat's Sharankhola has been selected as the best educational institution of the upazila for the third time. The well-furnished and eye-catching school that has become the talk of the town about everywhere in the upazila was selected as the best educational institution in 2018 and 2019.

The school established in 1991 for the better education of the young students of Jelepara (fishermen’s village) inhabited area got registration in 1996. The number of students continued to increase. At present, the school has more than two hundred students. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina nationalized the school in an announcement on January 9, 2013.

Headmaster Farid Ahmed took steps to improve quality education in this school. Local people including the teaching staff, managing committee, education department extend their hand of cooperation. During the on-site inspection of the school, it can be seen that different types of fruit, flower and vegetable gardens have been planted on the roof of the school building. Bangabandhu Udyan has been created in the school premises, and educational messages of various sages have been written on the walls of the school. In a word, the head teacher has set an example through various activities.

Although the school is in remote area, the upazila education department held a monthly coordination meeting with the head teachers of 114 government primary schools of the upazila to observe the actual picture and overall condition of the school. When the news about this school was published in various newspapers, District Education Officer of Bagerhat Muha Shah Alam rushed to the school to have a firsthand look.

The head teacher of this school, Farid Ahmed, said that I wanted to build the best school in the upazila if the school is govt. I was able to do so with the help of Assistant Teachers Managing Committee, Department of Education. As there was a decision to have a Bangabandhu Udyan in every school during the Mujib years, I established a Bangabandhu Udyan in my school.

Prabash Kumar Biswas, ICT Instructor (Computer Science) of Bagerhat PTI, after visiting this school, told this representative that the headmaster of this school, Farid Ahmed, is beautifying his school with the sweetness of his heart. Well-equipped pre-primary classrooms, freedom fighters' corner, provision of water in classrooms for students, seating for parents, seating for second shift students, various co-curricular activities are conducted in this school. I have visited many schools but I never knew that a school could be decorated so beautifully.

Bagerhat District Primary Education Officer Muha Shah Alam told Bangladesh Post that while visiting Khontakata United Government Primary School in Ajpara, Sharankhola, the professional duties of the teachers under the leadership of the headmaster are properly performed. 

Like The education-friendly government allocates money every year for the development of schools from various funds. If the head teacher of each school is sincere in his professional duties, then it is possible to build all educational institutions like the school in that district. The Upazila Education Officer has been directed to visit the teachers of each school to gain experience.
