Shibchar Career Club honoured and awarded 81 students who achieved GPA-5 in the Secondary School Certificate (SSC) and equivalent examinations in Shibchar Upazila of Madaripur.
The reception was held at the Upazila Auditorium in Shibchar on Saturday (September 19). Honorary crests were presented to the meritorious students from various educational institutions across the upazila.
The programme was presided over by Masudur Rahman, Convener of the Shibchar Career Club and Senior Assistant Secretary at the Ministry of Finance. Upazila Nirbahi Officer (UNO) H. M. Ibne Mizan attended as the chief guest.
Addressing the students, Masudur Rahman said achieving GPA-5 in the SSC examination is not the end of their success but the beginning of a new journey toward fulfilling their dreams.
He said the students would now face major challenges in higher education and career building, and that making the right decisions at the right time would help shape their future. He assured them that the Shibchar Career Club would continue to support them.
He also said their success was not merely a personal or family achievement but a source of pride for Shibchar.
UNO H. M. Ibne Mizan told the students that good academic results alone do not make someone truly educated. Honesty, discipline, perseverance and humanitarian values are equally important, he said.
He encouraged the students to pursue success with patriotism and a strong sense of responsibility.
“Those who possess a genuine sense of patriotism are truly talented. Without patriotism, even a talented person cannot contribute meaningfully to the country and its people. Alongside higher education, I hope you will develop yourselves as ideal citizens with patriotism, morality and strong humanitarian values,” he said.
Assistant Commissioner (Land) Aminul Islam, Shibchar Police Station Inspector (Investigation) Rakibul Hasan and Upazila Secondary Education Office Academic Supervisor Md Asadur Rahman were also present.
Teachers, students, guardians and representatives of various social organisations attended the programme.
