Hameed Al Husseinie College is a college in Colombo, Sri Lanka. ==History== The college began as a school, the ''Al Madrasathul Khairiyyathul Islamiah''. Founded by Marhoom Sidde Lebbe, Marhoom Wapichi Marikkar and Marhoom Ahmed Orabi Pasha, at the school's opening ceremony on 15 November 1884, Ahmed Orabi made a speech on the importance of the new school to Sri Lanka's Muslim community.〔(About the college ) Old Boys' Association, Hameed Al Husseinie College〕 In 1901 Noordeen Hadjiar, trustee of the Grand Mosque, built a new building for the school using his own funds as a monument to the Silver Jubilee Celebrations of Abdul Hamid II, the Ottoman Sultan, and renamed the school ''Al Madrasathul Hameediah''. In the same year a farewell ceremony was held for Orabi at the school premises to mark his departure from Ceylon to Egypt. In 1921, the school was again renamed as ''Hameediah Boys' English School''. During this same period, The Ceylon Moslem Educational Society Ltd. was founded in 1919 with the objective of looking after the educational needs of the Muslim community. The first school founded by the society was in Hulftsdrop Street and was called Akbar School. Later the members of the society bought the property at 45 Husseiniya Street (then called Kuruwe Street) and the school was shifted there in 1919 and named Husseinie Boys’ English School. In 1961 the school was amalgamated with the nearby Husseinie Boys' English School under the new name ''Hameed Al Husseinie Maha Vidyalaya'' by Badiudin Mahmud, the Minister of Education. On 29 August 1972, government ministers Pieter Keuneman and Badiudin Mahmud visited the school and unveiled a new five-storey building block and a three-storey science section. These buildings were completed in 1982 and the then Prime Minister Ranasinghe Premadasa visited the school and declared it open on 3 June 1982 by the invitation of then Minister of Education Ranil Wickremasinghe. The school was officially granted college status in 1991, and was renamed Hameed Al Husseinie College. It was elevated to a National School on July 26, 1996. 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「Hameed Al Husseinie College」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
