Gen Moeen tells OFA seminar

Staff Correspondent
Chief of Army Staff General Moeen U Ahmed yesterday underscored the need for remodeling the cadet college education system to keep pace with the demand of the time.
He said such education system would help produce honest and patriotic citizens in the country.
General Moeen was speaking at a seminar tided '50 years of Cadet College Education- A Legacy' of Learning’ at Hotel Sonargaon in the city.
Old Faujians' Association (OFA) organised the seminar on the occa-sion of the Golden Jubilee .Anniversary’ of Faujdarhat Cadet College (FCC).
Speaking as chief guest, General Moeen, himself a cadet of Sargodha Cadet College in Pakistan, said, “Today is a red-letter day in the history of cadet college education."
He said FCC, being the oldest public school, was able to produce some of the finest citizens who excelled in their own arena.
“We are thinking of having a cadet college in every district." he added.
The army chief said the cadet colleges identify the talents of the students in examination test and provide them with the best of facilities to groom up as worthy citizens.
“Our girls are also not lagging behind, and in girls' cadet colleges they have shown that they are also physically capable to cope with the stress of rigorous training,” he added.
Gen Moeen paid tributes to Old Faujian martyrs who embraced martyrdom in the War of Liberation and handed over mementos to the family members of martyred Faujians.
Lauding the cadet college education system, Dr Atiq Rahman, winner of 'Champions of Earth’ award and a former cadet of FCC, said, “It is FCC that made me what I am today.”
“At the beginning, a quarter alleged that cadet colleges were only for the sons of well-to-do families, but later they were proved wrong as cadets are recruited only on the basis of merit," said former secretary Kazi Rakibuddin, also an ex-Faujian.
Former Ambassador Maj Gen (retd) Sayeed presented a paper on the lite of the Faujian martyrs.
Manjur Mannan, an ex-Faujian and commissioner of AntiCorruption Commission, Maj Gen (retd) Jalal, Commodore (retd) Nizam, former president of Dhaka Chamber of Commerce and Industry Saiful Islam, Country Director of Bank Alfalah Majedur Rahman, President of OFA Central Governing Body Obaidur Rahman Khan, Secretary General Najmul Hasan and Moidul Islam, first viceprincipal of FCC, also spoke at the seminar moderated by former president of Dhaka Reporters' Unity MAnwarulHaq.
