The Chief Guest of the annual school gathering, Mrs. Furkana Afrose Batin, addressed the assembly by reminiscing about her high school days. She emphasized the crucial role of education, particularly for women, noting that when a woman is educated, an entire community benefits. Mrs. Batin encouraged everyone to draw inspiration from Hazrat Khadijah (R.A), an epitome of self-empowerment. Hazrat Khadijah (R.A) was a strong and independent woman, known for her loyalty, and is regarded as the best among all women, Mrs. Batin added.

Mrs. Batin highlighted the collective responsibility for a student's success, involving parents, teachers, mentors, and friends. In today's generation, parents are urged to foster a friendly relationship with their children. It is essential that parents avoid comparing their kids to others, recognizing the unique strengths and abilities of each child. Mrs. Batin also shared valuable tips for students to overcome exam fears and prepare effectively.
