Chattogram District Commissioner and District Magistrate Mohammad Zahidul Islam Miah said academic certificates and GPA-5 results alone do not constitute true education, stressing honesty, morality and human values. He made the remarks on Tuesday, 25 August, at a meeting on implementing the National Integrity Strategy and achieving Sustainable Development Goals at Sitakunda উপজেলা পরিষদ auditorium, followed by an anti-drug gathering at Bhaterkhil High School in Muradpur Union.

Addressing students, he said education should also be measured by whether learners become honest, humane and responsible. He called on families, educational institutions, the administration and society to work together to protect young people from drugs and harmful culture. He also emphasized involving students in sports and positive social activities.

At the meeting, the commissioner urged officials to ensure transparent, accountable public services without harassment. Discussions covered Sitakunda’s development, service quality, administrative coordination, integrity strategy implementation and SDG targets, including law and order in Jangal Salimpur. He later distributed wheelchairs, welfare grant cheques, educational and sports materials, and health supplies to beneficiaries.
