Kishoreganj, Sept 27 (UNB) - President Abdul Hamid on Thursday asked students to study sincerely so that they can compete in the global competition.   “You have only one duty to acquire more knowledge, know the world better so that you can survive in the competitive world,” he told the students on the occasion of Golden Jubilee of Hazi Tayeb Uddin High School at Mithmain here this evening.

Noting that the world is now highly competitive, the President said, the students must make themselves skilled not only to face not only the local competition but also across the globe.
  
Giving an example of competitive job markets in the country, the students should learn more while the government should create more employment opportunities.
 
About the quality teaching, President Hamid urged the teachers to gather world-standard knowledge so that the learners can get more update knowledge and information from their teachers.
 
“Teachers must read more and more. They have to know more to enlighten the students,” he added.
 
He hoped that the country is proceeding towards tremendous development and if it continues it will be possible to reach a developed country within 2041 in line with the charter of vision of the present government.   
 
Abdul Hamid, who contributed to set up the school on January 1 in 1968 while he was the vice-president (VP) of Guru Doyal College, recalled his student life’s memory and mentioned the incident behind the establishing school in an emotion chocked voice.
