As part of the program, they engaged in teamwork, leadership-building, and social awareness activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The unique international tour and program were organized by Fusion Holidays Ltd., a Bangladesh-based educational travel and tourism company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr. Masum Uddin, COO of Haileybury Bhaluka, said, \u201cThis is a historic moment for our students. Beyond textbooks, we always want our learners to make their mark on international platforms through leadership, skill, and awareness. This journey is a significant step in that direction.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr. Saifur Rahman, a teacher at Haileybury Bhaluka, added, \u201cExperiences like these build students\u2019 confidence, problem-solving abilities, and human empathy. They are thrilled to get this opportunity to prepare themselves for the global stage.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>HM Tariqul Islam, CEO of Fusion Holidays Ltd., remarked, \u201cOur mission has always been to help youth explore new horizons through educational travel. Haileybury Bhaluka\u2019s participation in this global initiative is a proud achievement for us as well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A participating student shared, \u201cThis experience taught me to take challenges, lead with confidence, and understand the emotions of others. I am truly grateful for this opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Duke of Edinburgh\u2019s International Award is a globally recognized youth development program that helps young people enhance confidence, leadership, compassion, and practical skills. The program currently operates in over 130 countries worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While many institutions in Bangladesh have participated in the program locally, this marks the first time a Bangladeshi school has joined such an international activity under the Duke of Edinburgh framework, setting a milestone in the country\u2019s education and youth development&nbsp;journey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Staff Correspondent : Haileybury Bhaluka, one of Bangladesh\u2019s leading English-medium educational institutions, has made history by becoming the first school in the country to participate in the Duke of Edinburgh\u2019s International Award program at an international level.
