History

The institution was established by Pakistan Air Force[16] near Tejgaon Airport, East Pakistan now Birsreshto Shaheed Jahangir Gate, Dhaka Cantonment, Dhaka, Bangladesh on 1 March 1960 for the children of the Air Force personnel as Shaheen School, an English-medium school.[17] Later in 1967 Bengali medium was introduced along with English medium. After the Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971 Bangladesh Air Force has been running this educational institution.[18] Meanwhile, Shaheen School was renamed as "Shaheen High School" and within a few years was recognized by the Dhaka Education Board. In the academic year 1977-78 Shaheen High School was renamed "BAF Shaheen College Dhaka" for the purpose of upgrading it to a higher secondary college.[19] Degree (pass course) was introduced in the academic year 1990-91 and since then BAF Shaheen College Dhaka continues to function as a degree college. However, the degree was abolished from the academic year 2006–07.[20][21]

Academics

The institution has three parts:[22]

  • Primary Division (KG to Class V)
  • Junior Secondary and Secondary (6th to 10th Class)
  • College (Class XI & XII)

School Authority releases an admission circular for KG class every year[23] (both an English version and Bengali-medium), and the college authority publishes an admission circular every year after the publication of the Secondary School Certificate results. New students (both boys and girls) are admitted to the 11th grade via online applications. They are admitted to the college according to the merit list based on their obtained marks in the SSC examinations. The children of BAF personnel have a special quota for admission.[24][25]

Sports and Hockey field

BAF Shaheen College Dhaka has several playgrounds for sports.[26] BAFSD has teams for football, cricket, squash, basketball, table tennis, hockey, badminton, handball, and volleyball that participate in national and regional games. In 2018 BAF Shaheen College Dhaka emerged as the champion in the ISPI School Football Tournament 2018 after beating Government Laboratory High School in the final at Bangladesh Handball Federation Indoor Stadium in Dhaka.[27]In 04 April, 2019 BAF Shaheen College Dhaka wins School Mini Handball tournament organised by Bangladesh Handball Federation.[28] In the final match of "AIUB Inter College Football Championship 2022" BAF Shaheen College Dhaka defeated RAJUK Uttara Model College by 1-0 and became the champion in the tournament.[29] For the second consecutive time, the BAF Shaheen College Dhaka is the Champion of the 2nd season of "AIUB Inter College Football Championship 2023" held from 23 to 30 May 2023 on the AIUB Campus.[30] BAF Shaheen College Dhaka also hosted the "Youth Squash Championship 2022".[31]

BAF Shaheen College Dhaka hockey field in Dhaka is the home ground for BAF Shaheen College Dhaka Hockey Team. It is the only institutional hockey ground in Bangladesh to contain artificial turf.[32] A number of national-level tournaments are held there every year. It was constructed in 2014 to provide better infrastructural facilities to its hockey team and giving opportunities at the school and college level to arrange tournaments of international standard.[33] Its construction began in December 2014. It was opened at the end of that month, making it the first artificial hockey turf of institutional level in Bangladesh.[34] Every year, the Inter Shaheen Hockey Tournament is held at this hockey ground.[35][36]
