In an article published by Amar Desh on August 18, 2026, writer Md Sabbir Fayez recalls the educational leadership and moral example of Abdun Nur Chowdhury, former head teacher of Shayestaganj High School. Fayez, a district and sessions judge and former student of the school, argues that teachers are not merely employees but builders of people and the nation. He says a school’s greatest asset is not its buildings or technology, but capable, honest, courageous and dedicated teachers guided by principled leadership.

The writer says Chowdhury taught mathematics clearly, checked daily exercises and made the classroom the main place for learning, reducing the need for private tutoring or coaching. He and other teachers reportedly held extra scholarship-preparation classes for selected eighth-grade students without additional payment. After Fayez received a scholarship, Chowdhury declined an offer of sweets from his father on ethical grounds.

The article also describes planned SSC preparation, support for both strong and weaker students, involvement of former students, assemblies, sports, cultural events and scouting. Fayez calls for teachers to receive respect, professional freedom, accountability and an environment rooted in values, arguing that such leadership can help village schools again develop young talent.
