Dhaka Residential Model College (also referred to as DRMC) ((ベンガル語:ঢাকা রেসিডেনসিয়াল মডেল কলেজ)), formerly known as Residential Model School,〔 is a public school in Mohammadpur, Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh. The school offers education for students ranging from third grade to twelfth grade (approximately ages 7 to 18). With over 4,200 students, 1,000 of which reside in its six dormitories, DRMC is the largest public and one of the largest residential schools in the country.〔 Dhaka Residential Model College is noted for its academic performance and extracurricular activities, having produced many notable alumni including leaders in business, the military and state and national politics as well as senior government officers, scientists and engineers. The government of Bangladesh recognized the school for its strong performance in the Higher Secondary Certificate examination in 2008.〔 The institution was awarded 'Best College' in the 5th National Debate Festival 2010, the largest debate contest in the country by the National Debate Federation Bangladesh.〔 The school quiz team won the championship at the Inter School Quiz Contest 2006,〔 the nationwide school level quiz bowl hosted by Shishu Academy, the national academy for children in Bangladesh.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bangladesh Shishu Academy )〕 The government of Pakistan founded the school in 1960, when Bangladesh was a part of Pakistan. The school was and still is the only one in Bangladesh under the direct control of the Ministry of Education, and it continues to enjoy this special status as of 2012.〔 DRMC is one of the most competitive schools in the country.〔 Admissions are based on an entrance examination, medical examination and an interview.〔 ==History== Field marshal Ayub Khan, the second president of Pakistan was the founder of Dhaka Residential Model College. Dhaka Residential Model College was established in 1960, in an area of about 50 acre beside Mirpur Road near Sher-e-Bangla Nagor in Dhaka by the then central government of Pakistan. Dhaka was the capital and the largest city of East Pakistan. In 1962, the administration of DRMC was assumed by the provincial government of East Pakistan. In 1965, the government converted the institution into an autonomous body and its administration was relegated to a board of governors with the Chief Secretary of East Pakistan as its chairman. In 1967, the government of Pakistan again took control of the school. At that time, a new board of governors was constituted with the Education Secretary of Pakistan as its Chairman. '' DRMC was originally established by Field marshal Ayub Khan, the first military leader of Pakistan, to provide education for army officers in East Pakistan. The school, and later the college, were modeled after public schools in the United Kingdom (according to the British Public Schools Act 1868), particularly Eton College. The house system was designed to resemble Eton's. After the independence of Bangladesh, a board of governors was appointed with the Education Secretary as its Chairman. Since its inception, the school has been funded through government grants and fees from students. The Board of Governors has been empowered to “frame rules as it deems necessary for the proper functioning of the school”.〔 The school began with only one study session, known as the ''Morning shift'' which operates from 8:00 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. In March 1993, another session known as the ''Day shift'' was added, according to the education expansion policy of the government, to cope with the growing number of students. The day shift session operates from 1:00 p.m. to 5:45 p.m. Measures were taken to build a gymnasium, park, swimming pool, auditorium, mosque, administrative building and residences for the principal, vice-principal and school staff.〔 The school opened eleventh and twelfth grades in 1967. In 1978, another dormitory named Lalon Shah House was built for students in grades 11–12. In 1999, it had about 600 students and 90 teachers, of which 20 were women.〔 In 2008, a four-storied house named Dr. Muhammad Shahidullah was built for students of the day shift. As of 2010, the number of non-resident students is substantially larger than that of resident students.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dhaka Residential Model College」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
