Green Dream of Koijuri School & College
Now we are very happy to Save the Children International (SCI) and Manab Mukti Sangstha (MMS) for involving “ Child Centred Climate Change Adaptation Project’s ’’ activities. This is the speech of Advocate Md. Abdul khaleque, Principal of Koijuri High School & College. We are lucky enough to join in the CCA activities.
Koijuri High school and College is one of the reputed institute at Shahzadpur upazila. This school is established in 1967. There are about 1130 Students are studding in the school but almost every year the school is affected by the flood and the teaching-learning activities are interrupted about one or one and half month.
In this regard CCA Project included the school as a CCA working school for year 2017 to 2021.
CCA Project has formed Green club, School child group and established an Oxygen bank in the school. Teachers of the school are very much interested to establish the school as a model institute regarding green, safe and climate change adaptive school in the Sirajgonj and also influence the students, community and other school within the Shahzapur Upazila for establishing green, safe and environment friendly school. In this regard, they have observed “International Disaster Risk Reduction’’ Day at Koijuri Union.
School teacher’s and student’s dreamt that they will make themselves as a change maker of climate change adaptation process to reduce climate change impacts in school and community.
