Gonobidya Niketon (High School) (Bengali: গণবিদ্যা নিকেতন (উচ্চ বিদ্যালয়)), also known as Gonobidya Niketon (its name up to 2005), is a private secondary educational institution in Bangladesh[1] established in 1974. Although the school was set up to cater for the need of the children of surrounding areas, students come from all parts of Narayanganj. The main campus of Gonobidya Niketan is in the heart of Narayanganj Sadar Upazila.
History[edit]
The school was founded on March 15, 1974. The students participated in S.S.C. (Secondary School Certificate) examination (O-level equivalent) for the first time in 1975.
During the first 23 years, the school kept its growth as a boy's high school for day shift only. Following demands and requests, a morning shift for girls was added in 1997.
To make room for more students the administration established a new building on the occasion of the 20th anniversary in 1995.
In 2012, a regular committee was formed by the direct vote of guardians and teachers.
