The Society of Jesus, also known as the Jesuits, opened its first school in Bangladesh to help form young people to become future leaders of the country.
Archbishop Bejoy N. D’Cruze, OMI, of Dhaka, president of the Bishops’ Conference of Bangladesh, said “efforts must be made to improve the education sector” in the country. Bishop D’Cruze said that Catholic schools in the country “also offer moral education and human and Christian values, training men and women who will then make a contribution to the nation.”
“Throughout the world, the Jesuits carry out their ministry and apostolate in education. We are grateful to God that this school is God’s blessing for us. We hope that our children and the next generation will receive quality education from this school,” added Gomes.
