A different day for students, teachers of remote school
It was a different day for the students of Karim Uddin Public High School in Kaliganj upazila under the district as a London-based teacher shared his experience of teaching Bengali to the students in the English speaking country on Monday.
Badrul Alam, head of Bengali Department of Sir John Cass Red Coat Secondary School in London, visited the Lalmonirhat school as Hydne Evans, head teacher of the London school, sent him there for sharing his teaching experience abroad in person.
The two schools, a few thousands of miles apart, are connected online through the Connecting Classrooms Online programme of British Council, Bangladesh, and it enables the students to better their knowledge of Bengali and English languages through interactive participations.
Students of this school have continued improving their knowledge of English language through sharing with the London school students through online for the last one year, said students and teachers.
"The educational environment of Karim Uddin Public High School has seen much positive changes after connecting with the British Council's Connecting Classrooms Online programme. The students of Sir John Cass Red Coat Secondary School have also benefited, developing their knowledge in Bengali language through interaction with the students here," said Badrul Alam.
"Most of the students of this school come from poor families but they have gained fair skill in English language, thanks to online sharing with the students of Sir John Cass Red Coat Secondary School in London," said Khurshiduzzaman Ahmed, headmaster of Karim Uddin Public High School.
