Directorate of Secondary and Higher Education

 

 

Background:

 

During the primary stage of the 19th century there were no specific govt. procedures on educational management. As a result there was a gap in developing the educational system among govt. non-govt. and missionary level.

 

In 1853 a specific guideline and opportunity came on education reintroducing Educational Sanad Act. By investigating the all education systems of India, the first educational deed/document was written. In 1854, this written document was published by the name of Charlse Wood. The purpose of it was to extent knowledge, develop moral values and provide reliable and efficient workers to the company.

 

It is worthwhile to mention that the new plan of Education was an important decision of dispatch. The first part of the plan was about the separate education department. After being possessed by company, India was divided into Bangla, Madraj, Mumbai, Northwest, and Panjab province. According to the new policy Directorate of Public Instruction was formed in place of Board/Council. It was decided that the director of public instruction would manage this department. Adequate skilled inspector of school and college would administrate institution, manage and advise about proper learning and report about the entire development of education to the government every year. All the activities would be done under the control of the director.

 

At that time all primary, secondary and higher secondary institutions were directed under the Director of Public Instruction (except university). In last three decades the activities of D.P.I was divided into some directorate and sub directorates.

 

In 1921 at the time of restructuring the education management of British India, the Directorate of Public Instruction handed over the education department to former state government. At that time the education minister was the chief of the education department. The directorate of public instruction was the chief of executive of DPI. The next officer of the directorate of public instruction was the assistant director. In 1926 a temporary post of an additional assistant director had been created. In 1928 the post of physical director had been created under the director of public instruction. The directorate of public instruction performed its activities in the famous Writers' building of Calcutta.

 

After the separation of India in 1947, the DPI was shifted from the W.B. to the campus of Rajshahi collegiate school of Rajshahi.

 

In 1948 this office was shifted again to the commissioner building of Segunbagicha in Dhaka, the capital of former East Pakistan. The DPI office had been moved into its own place after the foundation of building at 16, Abdul Goni Road, Dhaka. Eminent educationist and scientist Dr. Md. Kudrat-E-Khuda had adorned the post of first director of public instruction. In different times the eminent and famous educationists of our country had adorned this post. Among them Khan Bahadur Fazlur Rahman, Dr. Momtaj Uddin Ahmed, Khan Bahadur Abdul Hakim, Professor Md. Shamsul Hoque, Mohammad Ferdous Khan, Dr. Momtaj Uddin Chowdhury, Dr. Abdullah Al-Muti Sharfuddin, Dr. Khalilur Rahman and Dr. Hafez Ahmed are worth mentioning.


 

In 1962 at first the directorate of technical education and in 1981 the directorate of primary education being separated from DPI came out as individual directorates. The directors of former public instruction were 17 personnel and at present the director General as 18 is adorning this post. Dr. Hafez Ahmed was the first director general of this directorate (22.08.81 - 22.08.82) and professor Rashida Begum was the first female director General (12.12.95 - 21.10.96). Now Professor Dilara Hafiz is in the position of director general (22.02.2005 till now).
