Need for more BKSPs

What should be the purpose of education? Is it just to obtain certificates one after another or gaining good grades in examinations? No, schooling should give us more than that. There should be real-life situations where children can learn a host of skills needed to grow up. For example, many schools across the world train their students to swim and other lifestyle skills. If we look at our educational institutions, we will hardly find any school that trains its students to learn swimming or something like this. But among them, Bangladesh Krira Shikkha Protisthan (BKSP) stands apart.

As an educational institution, BKSP has been bringing home honours from the international arena year after year. It might be a sports-centric school but it is contributing to other fields as well. Its alumni are bringing glory for us. Hence, we need more schools like BKSP all across Bangladesh.
