In a heartwarming story from Bagha Kakramari village in Lalpur upazila of Natore, 40-year-old Abdul Hannan has proven that age is never a barrier to education. After dropping out of school more than two decades ago, his determination and love for learning brought him back to the classroom this time beside his daughter. In the recently published HSC results on October 16, Abdul Hannan achieved an impressive GPA of 4.33, while his daughter Halima Khatun scored 3.71. Hannan appeared for the exams from Bagha Kakramari College, and Halima from Gopalpur Degree College.
Abdul Hannan’s incredible comeback story has touched hearts nationwide. Once a tea seller near the Gopalpur Railgate area, he had to give up his education in 1998 due to financial struggles. But his dream to study never faded. With encouragement from his wife and daughter, he resumed his studies 25 years later and succeeded. “My dream was to complete my education, now I want to go further and earn a master’s degree,” said Hannan proudly. Lalpur Upazila Executive Officer Mehedi Hasan praised the duo, calling it “a truly inspiring example that will motivate others to value education.”
