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).
