Mohammadpur Government High School (Bengali: মোহাম্মদপুর সরকারি উচ্চ বিদ্যালয়, also known as MGHS) is one of the oldest public schools located in Dhaka, Bangladesh.[3] The institution offers primary and secondary education for boys.

History

The school was established in 1967 and follows the National Curriculum and Textbook Board in the medium of Bengali.

Structure

The school enrolls students from Class 1 to 10. The school operates in two shifts: Morning and Day. Students of Class 1 to 10 can read in the Morning shift. But in Day shift, it is only for Class 6 to 10. There is an additional non governmental section in the school for class 1 to 5. The students pass from the additional shift, can directly admit in the Day shift. Every year about approximately 500 students appear in the PEC, JSC & SSC examination, with about half in Science, and half in Business Studies.

Admission

Under the control of Directorate General of Secondary and Higher Education, Dhaka admission lotteries of all the government schools of Dhaka city are taken. There is no intense competition in the admission process. Students are selected to study at this school by lottery. Usually students are admitted in classes 1,6 and 9. Admission can be considered in other classes if a vacancy is created. The admission test is taken usually in December after the annual exam.

Guardian teacher conference

To make each students best from better, a conference is called where they discuss the problems of a student and how to remove those. Thus this school gradually makes good results in PEC, JSC & SSC.

School magazine

The name of the magazine of the school is UDDIPON (উদ্দীপন). The magazine is not published regularly every year. It is published after every 4 years. The school magazine is a historical document of the growth of the school. It informs the future generation of students about the traditions built up of their school. This valuable publication is the opportunity that students require to show their creative talents. Along with academic studies, students are encouraged in games and athletics, art and craft, science clubs, dramatics and various other activities. These make the years in school interesting and worth remembering. But intellectual activities like debates, elocution and essay-writing competitions are rarely found. The school magazine is the window to the activities of the school. Proper initiative by the teachers can help in improving the views and expressions of the students which in turn will raise the standard of the magazine.
