Ashar Alo Patshala, an evening school, has been contributing to
ultra-poor students in remote area of Kurigram district for last three years.
The school was established on January 23,
2010 in Rumkhana union under Nageswari upazila of the district to motivate and
teach the ultra-poor and dropout students.
Some local higher secondary students, led
by Kumar Biswajit Barmon, started the free teaching activity in Ashkar Nagar
High School of the union.
Then 120 dropout students of class-IV were
brought under their free education service through motivation.
With increasing students according to
classes, numbers of teachers (higher secondary students) were involved with the
school activity.
Now over 200 students of class I-VII are
learning education with free of cost while 17 teachers (higher secondary
students) are teaching them. Each teacher teaches in the class two days in a
week.
Besides, eight government officers
including Nageswari UNO Molla Mijanur Rahman teach in the school as volunteer
teachers one or more times.

Ashkar Nagar High School.
Every day the teaching activities are
started through national anthem and light physical exercise where some selected
teachers have present there.
Each student is a student of any
government or registered primary school of the union. Mainly students are given
teach on their concerned school-base teaching.
The students gather general knowledge,
cultural activity and sports beside their class lessons.
Government high officials and local elites
of the district are invited in various functions as guests. Sometimes the
guests help them giving various education materials.
