BAF Shaheen College Dhaka also known as BAFSD or Dhaka Shaheen[4] is a co-educational Bangladeshi college[5] [6] (grades KG-XII) established and managed by the Bangladesh Air Force.[7] and primarily for the children of Air Force personnel.[8] but civilians' children can also study at the college.[9] [10]
History
The institution was established by Pakistan Air Force.[11] near Tejgaon Airport,[12] [13] East Pakistan now Birsreshto Shaheed Jahangir Gate, Dhaka Cantonment, Dhaka, Bangladesh on 1 March 1960 for the children of the Air Force personnel as Shaheen School, an English-medium school.[7] Later in 1967, Bengali medium was introduced along with English medium. After the Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971, The Bangladesh Air Force has been running this educational institution.[14] Meanwhile, Shaheen School was renamed as "Shaheen High School" and within a few years was recognized by the Dhaka Education Board.[15] In the academic year 1977-78 Shaheen High School was renamed "BAF Shaheen College Dhaka" for the purpose of upgrading it to a higher secondary college.[16] Degree (pass course) was introduced in the academic year 1990-91 and since then BAF Shaheen College Dhaka continues to function as a degree college. However, the degree was abolished from the academic year 2006–07. Later, English version curriculum was also introduced.[17] [18] [19] In the year 2008, an alumni association was formed, namely the Ex Shaheens' Association Dhaka (ESAD).[20] [21] In the 2024 quota reform movement, a student of this college named Shafiq Uddin Ahmed Ahnaf[22] died during the protest.[23] [24]
Academics
Teaching is done in Bengali and English. The institution has three parts:[2]
- Primary Division (KG to Class V)
- Junior Secondary and Secondary (Class VI to X)
- College (Class XI and XII)[25]
Shaheen School Authority releases an admission circular for KG class every year and sometimes others classes also with morning and day shift (both an English version and Bengali-medium), on the other hand the college authority publishes an admission circular every year after the publication of the Secondary School Certificate results.[26] New students (both boys and girls) are admitted to the 11th grade via online applications. They are admitted to the college according to the merit list based on their obtained marks in the SSC examinations. The children of BAF personnel have a special quota for admission.[27]
Hockey field
BAF Shaheen College Dhaka[28] hockey field in Dhaka is the home ground for BAF Shaheen College Dhaka Hockey Team.[29] It is the only institutional hockey ground in Bangladesh to contain artificial turf.[30] Several national-level tournaments and inter-Shaheen tournaments are held there every year.[31] It was constructed in 2014 to provide better infrastructural facilities to its hockey team and giving opportunities at the school and college level to arrange tournaments of international standard.[32] Its construction began in December 2014.[33] It was opened at the end of that month, making it the first artificial hockey turf of institutional level in Bangladesh.[34] [35]
