Mymensingh Zilla School (MZS) is a public secondary school for boys, located in Mymensingh, Bangladesh.[1][2] The institution was established in 1846 during the British Raj under the name Hardinge School and was officially renamed Mymensingh Zilla School on 3 November 1853.[3][4]

Originally founded as an English-medium institution, the school now follows the Bangla medium, with Bengali as the language of instruction.[5] Since 1991, the school has operated in two shifts: the Morning shift runs from 7:30 am to 12:00 pm, while the Day shift runs from 12:30 pm to 5:30 pm.

The school comprises two nearby campuses: one houses the academic and administrative buildings, and the other was formerly used as a student hostel. Although the hostel is no longer used for accommodation, the facility is currently utilised for other purposes.[6]

History

[edit]

Mymensingh Zilla School was established in 1846 as an English-medium institution named Hardinge School, under the supervision of Mr. F. B. Camp, the then Deputy Collector of the East India Company. On 3 November 1853, it was re-established as a full-fledged English-medium school near Kachari (present-day Laboratory School). The school no longer operates as an English-medium institution; it now follows the national curriculum of Bangladesh, with Bengali as the medium of instruction. Bhagawan Chandra Bose, father of the renowned scientist Jagadish Chandra Bose, served as the first headmaster of the school.[7]

During the tenure of S.M.A. Kajmi, the first Deputy Commissioner of Mymensingh, the government designated the institution as a multilateral pilot school. The main school buildings, which are still in use today, were constructed in 1912. In 1965, the school premises were redesigned and restructured by an American science teacher, Mr. Dril.[7]

The school compound was used as a base for the British Army during World War II. It also served as a training camp for freedom fighters during the Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971. More than 40 students of the school sacrificed their lives during the war, fighting against the Pakistan Army.[7]

On 3 March 1981, police fired tear gas to disperse rioting students of Mymensingh Zilla School. Sixty people were injured in the clash, which erupted when students attempted to reoccupy part of their hostel building that had recently been allocated by the government to an adjacent primary training institute.[8][9]

Admission

[edit]

Admission to Mymensingh Zilla School typically takes place at the 3rd and 6th grade levels. Prospective students for entry into Class 3 and Class 6 generally apply by December to sit for the admission test. Only those who qualify in the test are granted admission.[citation needed]

Academics

[edit]

Mymensingh Zilla School offers education from Class 3 to Class 10. After successfully completing Class 8, students are required to choose between the Science and Business Studies streams. Admission into the Science stream depends on the marks obtained in Mathematics and General Science in the Junior School Certificate (JSC) examination.

From Class 9 onwards, students are divided into two academic streams: Science and Business Studies. Upon successful completion of Class 10, students are eligible to appear for the Secondary School Certificate (SSC) examination.[citation needed]
