The Chittagong Catholic Diocese on Monday gave a reception for 300 students, who have passed the Secondary School Certificate examinations this year, from four schools under its operation.
The programme was held in the afternoon at the St Scholastica High School Auditorium at Patharghata in the city, with Hossain Zillur Rahman, former caretaker government education advisor, as the chief guest.
The fact that this year the success of the students in the SSC examinations broke all the previous records indicates the rising standard of the education system of the country, said Hossain Zillur Rahman in his speech.
Chittagong Catholic Diocese Archbishop Moses Kosta, also the chair of the programme, stressed the importance of the extra-curricular activities besides the regular academic studies.
Fahmida Amin and Bishop Subrata Lawrence Hawladar attended the programme as special guests.
Later a colourful cultural programme was staged by the students and teachers of the schools under the Chittagong Catholic Diocese, namely St Placid High School, St Scholastica High School, Mariam Ashram High School and Brother Andre High School.
