History

The school was established in 1880 with the efforts of the late Abul Hossain Joarddar, a local zamindar. At the time of establishment, this school was named S. E. School Later this school was promoted to H.E. School.[ citation needed ] He donated seven acres of land. He is the founding headmaster of the school. There is a common saying in this regard: - "Abul Hossain Joarddar built a school in Chuadanga town from house to house to light the light of knowledge". Mr. Manmathanath Gui became the headmaster of the school and played an important role in the development of the school. The school was named Victoria Jubilee High School on the occasion of the Silver Jubilee of the reign of the then Queen Victoria of England on 16 February 1887.[ citation needed ]

Initially, the school started in a tin house, but in 1928, a tin house was replaced by a pucca building. The school was made official on February 1, 1980. Since then, the name of the school has been associated with Government, meaning V.J. Government High School (full: Victoria Jubilee Government High School). The active participation of the students of this school in the language movement of 1952 and the war of independence of 1971 has further enriched the history of Chuadanga district. The school has been recognized as the best school by the people of the district[ citation needed ] by achieving good results in all types of examinations by the Board of Education. The number of students is increasing. Therefore, the school was transformed into a double shift in 2011 to maintain the quality of education and provide opportunities for more students to study. Since the establishment of the school, the abbreviated form of the name of the school became popular and was used in all cases. However, on March 30, 2022, in a letter signed by the Director General of DSHE, Nehal Ahmed, in a brief signed by the Directorate of Secondary and Higher Education, Ministry of Education, Bangladesh. The former headmaster of the school, Md. Bilal Hossain Completed the work of writing full name and founding time. [2]
