Mohammad Ullah’s singular focus on teaching

In a competitive world where civil service aspirants often diversify their cadre choices to improve their chances, Mohammad Ullah stood apart — with a singular, unwavering commitment to one path: education. When the results of the 44th BCS examination were published on June 30, Ullah emerged as the top scorer in Chemistry under the education cadre, turning a focused dream into reality.

Currently serving as a Lecturer in Chemistry at Adamjee Cantonment College, Dhaka, Mohammad Ullah is widely respected for his academic brilliance, discipline, and deep-rooted love for teaching. He completed his graduation from the University of Dhaka’s Department of Chemistry, 91st batch (2011–12 session), where his journey toward educational service first took shape.

What sets Ullah apart is not just his achievement, but the intention behind it. While most BCS candidates opt for multiple cadres, often choosing from the highly sought-after administration or foreign service tracks, he applied for only one: education.

“I never considered anything else. Teaching is not my backup — it’s my purpose,” he said.

Before joining Adamjee Cantonment College, Mohammad Ullah taught at BIS Nirjhor and BAF Shaheen College, where his commitment to students extended far beyond scheduled classes. He was known for staying late to help students grasp difficult concepts, offering weekend sessions, and personally mentoring them for university entrance exams and competitive tests.

Colleagues remember him as quiet yet resolute — someone who arrived early, stayed late, and used every available moment, even during BCS preparation, to better himself without compromising his responsibilities. His success was not the result of shortcuts but of steady, silent perseverance.

In the current context of Bangladesh’s education sector — marked by outdated methods, teacher shortages, and declining student engagement — dedicated individuals like Mohammad Ullah are not just inspiring, they are essential. While many chase power and prestige in other cadres, Ullah’s decision to choose and excel in education alone speaks volumes.

His commitment is not just career-driven; it is a principled stand — a belief that nation-building begins in the classroom.

“Behind every success, there’s an untold story of sacrifice. A dream fulfilled. A journey honored. A quiet struggle that now shines.”

As Bangladesh works toward reforming its education system, Mohammad Ullah’s story serves as a timely reminder: true change does not begin in boardrooms, but on blackboards — guided by those who teach not just with knowledge, but with purpose.
