Bogra teacher honoured among top global educationists Shahanaj Parvin • Tribune Desk Shahanaj Parvin, a teacher at the Upazila Sadar Model Government Primary School in Sherpur in Bogra, was honoured among the top 50 nominees for the Varkey Foundation Global Teacher Prize 2017 on Sunday. Shahanaj and her fellow teachers received their accolades at the Fifth Global Education and Skills Forum at The Palm Atlantis Hotel in Dubai. Education Minister Nurul Islam Nahid was in attendance. Meanwhile, Canadian teacher Maggie MacDonnell collected the $1 million top award for the Global Teacher Prize at the event. News 7 TUESDAY, MARCH 21, 2017 She received her prize from Dubai Crown Prince Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, who is the patron for the award. Shahanaj was born in a remote Bangladeshi village to two primary school teachers. While many children in Bangladesh drop out of school in order to support their families through earning, the dropout rate was vastly reduced by Shahanaj’s teaching methods that emphasised technology and multimedia applications. Shahanaj’s inclusion in the 50 person shortlist for the Global Teacher Prize was reported earlier on December 16. • Jubo League leader, 3 others rape schoolgirl • Zahirul Islam Khan, Madaripur DT Police are looking for four people including a Jubo League leader of Madaripur’s Kalkini who gangraped an eighth grader on March 11 after abducting her. The accused are Elahi Kotpal, 35, Lalon Shikdar, 34, Khoka Shikdar, 30, Shawkat Shikdar, 32, all from Jajira village. Khoka is the general secretary of Ramjanpur Union unit Jubo League. The case was filed on March 16 after the accused threatened the victim’s family. According to the case statement, the accused had been making propositions to the victim for quite a long time. Angered by her refusal, they abducted her on the night of March 11 when she stepped out of her house to go to the toilet. They took the girl to a nearby shed and raped her. The girl was rescued by locals the following day. The victim’s brother, seeking anonymity, said the rapists had threatened them with further violence if the girl was taken to a hospital or if any case was filed. Her family then took her to Dhaka Medical College Hospital for treatment. When contacted, Madaripur Additional Police Superintendent Sumon Deb stated the accused will be arrested soon. •
