RANGPUR, Oct 14, 2024 (BSS) - Shaheed Abu Sayeed, who was shot dead by police during the anti-discrimination student movement on July 16, has passed the written test of the 18th Non-Government Teachers' Registration and Certification Authority (NTRCA).
Result of the written test was released on the NTRCA website on Monday afternoon.
The results showed that Md Abu Sayeed bearing roll no 201256297 passed the written test as an Ebtedaye Teacher (General) Language (Bengali and English).
Shaheed Abu Sayeed, a 12th batch student of the Department of English at Begum Rokeya University, Rangpur (BRUR) appeared in the NTRCA written test on July 12 last, four days before embracing martyrdom in police firing in front of his university.
After the results were announced, Shamsur Rahman Sumon, a student of the Department of Bengali of the university and coordinator of anti-discrimination student movement, made an emotional post on his Facebook account.
Sumon wrote in the post, "After marching on the campus on July 11, Abu Sayeed brother's registration written examination was on the 12th. We will have a meeting that morning... So brother Abu Sayeed was saying whether he will give the exam or not? I didn't read anything because of the movement. We said, brother, come after giving the exam...we will have a meeting in the afternoon. Brother Sayeed went to participate in the exam on the 12th taking the stress of being slapped and tortured by the BCL on the 11th, a day ahead.....Today the results are declared. But there is no Abu Sayeed brother. We haven't only lost heroic brother Sayeed...we have lost a talented student."
Abu Sayeed, a key coordinator of the student's quota reform movement for civil service jobs at BRUR, led protest from the front during the movement.
On July 16 last, Sayeed was killed in police firing during the movement. He was buried in Pirganj upazila in the district next day.
The martyrdom of Sayeed ignited the student-mass uprising adding the decisive momentum to it propelling the second independence movement to free the nation from the 15-year long dictatorship of the then fascist Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
Finally, Bangladesh achieved its second independence in exchange of the supreme sacrifice of Sayeed and many other brave students and people on August 5.
