On this historic day in 1952, brave sons of the soil laid down their lives to defend the right to speak their mother tongue. In remembrance of the language martyrs—Salam, Rafiq, Barkat, Jabbar, Shafique, and all those who sacrificed for linguistic freedom—wreaths were laid at the school’s Shaheed Minar. The ceremony served as a heartfelt tribute to their unparalleled sacrifice, followed by a special prayer seeking eternal peace for their departed souls.

Addressing the students, the Chairman of the school, Mr. Tayubur Rahman, remarked,“Bangla is the foundation of our identity and our presence in the world, while English is the medium through which we acquire skills and competence. By harmonising both, we can strengthen our self-identity and emerge as global citizens of excellence.”


In his address, the Principal Abdullah Al Masud highlighted the significance of language proficiency in today’s competitive world. He stated: “To thrive in the modern global landscape, students must attain a high level of proficiency in English. However, progress must always be rooted in a deep respect for our mother tongue and core values. Our institution remains committed to nurturing honest and capable citizens through the integrated teaching of English, Bangla, and Arabic, alongside moral and ethical development.”

The programme featured recitations, patriotic songs, and presentations reflecting on the Language Movement, making the day both meaningful and inspiring. With the enthusiastic participation of students and teachers alike, the spirit and historical significance of the day were vividly brought to life for the younger generation.

GreenMind International School firmly believes that a profound respect for one’s mother tongue, combined with excellence in international languages, forms the cornerstone of shaping principled, conscious, and competent citizens of tomorrow.
