History

How the School was established

These two building was built by the govt.in the year 1996

When there was no primary School around 10 miles of Baluakandi village,the children's of Baluakandi alike other places did not get education. Dr. Abdul Gaffar Khan MB (Cal) considering this dire need of the children's education founded Baluakandi Primary School in the year 1934 on his owned land beside the 'Baluakandi Munshibari' Dhighi, where as many as 50/60 students were getting primary education.At that time 0f British-India resigm,there was no system of financing education by the British-Indian government and as such the founder had to bear all the expenses of the school including the teachers salary.Dr.Abdul Gaffar Khan MB (Cal) was happy to bear this liability for the sake of education of Baluakandi children.Each year a host of students upon completing the study in this primary school, leave the school for secondary education who normally used to get admission in 'Chengarchar High School', 10 mile far away from Baluakandi village.This was the educational atmosphere at that time

In the year 1963 Dr.Abdul Gaffar Khan MB (Cal) upon urging the then Government of East Pakistan to acquire the School to run as Govt.Primary School, paid the acquisition money for the land of the present premises on the direction of the Government, where a pucca building was constructed by the govt. and made the School as 'Baluakandi Government Primary School'. That was the start whereupon Currently as many as 600 students are getting primary education in this school.

Current Chairman of the managing committee is Justice AFM Abdur Rahman,Barrister-at-law and the School is one of the top standard primary school in Gazaria Upazila.
