he subject „Education‟ can never be understood properly without practical experiences. For this classroom experiences are the best solution. Passing time with young learners, controlling them, teaching them, loving them and earning their love and respect in return is not a light job. The experience obtained can be useful not only in studying „Education‟ but in all aspects of life. Regarding to this, our „Institute of Education and Research‟ gives each of her students a chance to apply his/her
gained knowledge in real life. In our seventh semester every student has to work in different schools as a regular teacher to fulfill their internships. It occurred to me really scary when I first heard about it in I.E.R. As time passed, my turn began to come nearer and I began to get all sorts of frightening news about internship. How the children never listen to whatever they are told, how the school teachers misbehave, how hard rising up at the crack of the dawn etc. Not only frightening ones, I heard very good and inspiring news too.
In March our practicum session began. The time finally has come to examine ourselves what we had learned in three years of Education study. From March 13, I, along with my nineteen other classmates, started our mission at “University Laboratory School & College”. We got along with the school in no time. We took classes, took exams, invigilated exam halls, checked exam copies, arranged programs and did many other works. By means of these when five months passed we could not notice at all. I mostly enjoyed passing times with my students. Their love and respect is one of most valuable achievements in my life.
In this preface I want to express gratitude to I.E.R for giving me this wonderful opportunity. I thank my coordinator Prof. Md. Nazmul Haq Sir most gratefully for his cordial co-operation. I also thank my supervisors Prof. Hosne Ara Begum Madam and Prof. Dr. Md. Ali Zinnah Sir. They all worked heartily for us and without their generous help and support it would be impossible for me to perform my duties properly. Special thanks to the school authority who gave us permission and watch over us for the last five months. I am very much grateful to my teammates for helping me in many ways and for letting me have a beautiful time with them.
Now, at the end when I‟m writing this report, I finally have got the experiences of which I was excited about; I took Total 176 Classes and got chance to go in every classes of the school in this session. So this is my first experience of work in a team, experience to build up a good communication skill for lifetime. I don‟t know that if I have this same chance again or not but
now I can admit that teaching is a very noble job rather than any other work.

his report may have some incompleteness due to some of the limitations I
encountered while completing it, that are mentioned below:
Some essential data could not be gathered because of confidentiality concerns such as budget, summary of different BOG and management committee meetings.
Another limitation was that the data gathered could not be verified for total
accuracy.

INTRO DUCTIO N
From ancient period, human being started learning. Their first
teacher was nature. As time went on, human civilization grew
and people‟s works became more critical. The parents started
teaching children their works in order to make livelihood easy
for them. With this first ever informal education got birth. In
thousands of years education system matured through many
steps and finally became formal. Now a days, training of young
generation mostly depend on formal education or more
specifically to say, it has become school centered.
Although learning of a child begins from its family; but school
plays the most vital part. From childhood to youth a student
spends his/her most valuable period in school. In this time their
characters grow, their basic leaning take place and the root of
their personality get sowed. It is of no doubt that schools are
the apex institutions to develop pupils‟ all-round prospects.
It is a matter of great regret that most of our schools don‟t
have that positive environment to meet the possibilities of
students. More than 50% of our people are deprived of the
right of education, moreover those who are getting education,
hardly gets it qualitative. A big part of them drop out before
finishing at least primary education. As a result our national
development hampers a lot.
Ours is a developing country. Our only way to prosper is by creating an educated nation. For this,
it is necessary to determine the total condition of our schools and take proper steps to eradicate
barriers of quality education. School education should be given the highest priority.
As a student of 7th semester of IER, I also had to go through this practicum semester. I was a
trainee teacher of “University Laboratory School & College”. So I had an opportunity to look
through the environment of the school very closely. I tried to picture those observations in this
report.

BRIEF HIS TORY
ithout education it is impossible to develop
the nation. Education helps us to be
independent in almost all the sectors of life.
That is why education system is considered as an
essential component of Human development. School is
the main place for applying education system. It is
important to establish school for any kind of education
system. Each school is founded on a history, but the
contribution of some great personality.
Before and since independence, „University Laboratory
School & College‟ is one of those educational institutions,
which could spread the essence of education with their
shining reputation since before and after independence.
Undoubtedly, University Laboratory School & College is
at the front most raw but the initial history of this school &
college is not known to so many people. Because the
establishment of this institution is a little different.
In 1964, March, this institution started with K.G Level and
Class One. In course of time, this is now a titanic
establishment.
To develop the modern educational training, in 1959 the
then Pakistan Government committed a contract with
Colorado State University, U.S.A and established I.E.R in
Dhaka. For operating teacher‟s training activities, an

For operating teacher’s
training activities, an
American teacher Mrs.
Gunning Started this school
at the west side of I.E.R
building. Later in 1965,
April, the school was
upgraded to Class Five and

Dr. Adjer E. Filder, an American supervisor was in charge. He worked as the principal till
1965. to help him, there were three other dedicated personality: Mrs. Gunning, Dr. Jackofron,
Dr. Ottis Coffey.
The School serves as a laboratory for educational experimentation under the administrative
control of the Institute of Education & Research, Dhaka University. The land area of the
Institution is 1.58 acre.
The first S.S.C batch of 1971 (Science Group) completed their examination successfully and
one of the students also secured the position in the board. The college branch of (Science
Group) was opened in the year 1975 and they attended their H.S.C. examination in the year
1977. Though a bit delayed, Business Studies and Humanities Group were also introduced
in the year 1998. Now this once small institution has become a full phased one in which 1274
students in school section and 463 students in college sections are studying. With the help of
48 teachers the institution is successfully taking steps in its academic field.
Ultimately, in University Laboratory School & College have some dedicated teachers and
thousands of students together contributing to this wonderful result and in future, this will

uality education is the prerequisite for the education for sustainable development. It
is an evaluation of process of educating which enhances the need to achieve and
develop the talents of the customers of the process and at the same time meets the
accountability standards set by the clients who pay for the process on the output of
the process of educating. Quality of education depends on different matters. Only a modern
and effective education policy or quality teachers cannot provide quality education. For this,
coordination among all parts and effective management are needed. According to its
materials, the education quality of University Laboratory School & College is given bellow.

S UGGESTIO NS TO O VERCOMING PRO BLEMS & FURTHER
IMPRO VEMENT
here are some problems those can be eradicated, some cannot be overcome
and only effect can be reduced. However, some ways to overcome and
control such problems are given below:
1. Classroom-student proportion should be 1: 35.
2. Quality of guardians‟ room should be increased.
1. Building a Students‟ Forum where students will frequently talk about their
problems, opportunities and share experience. They should be given opportunity
to express their opinion about teaching, expectations to the authority.

M EMO RIES IN THE S CHOO L
n the Seventh semester of our Bachelor on Education program, as our intern course, we
twenty students joined University Laboratory School & College on 13 march 2012. From
the very first day we gave our whole hearted dedication as a regular teacher of the
school. At first we had to face various types of problems and situations which we could
overcome with our ideas. We also shared all our problems with our coordinator and he had
always been a moral support for all of us. To go to school in due time, to sign the attendance
copy, to join the assembly, to go to the classes given to us and to take full and sound
preparation and to give 100% in the class was our motto. We can proudly say that we did all
the duties given to us. We also gave duty in while in the examination.
We also tried to apply different methods of teaching –learning which encouraged the students
to be more participative in the class. Our use of various teaching aid also made them to have
a good bond with us. They at the end of the days requested us to continue our teaching in
their school. Their love and appreciation made us successful. When we were about to leave
the school, the students of our classes tried to give us presents, they all took autographs
from us and gave hand written cards and momentums which let our eyes cry too along with
them.
The help and support we got from the school administration, the Assistant head Teacher is
noteworthy. Without their help and support it was nearly impossible to utilize our merit in a
proper way.
At last I want to mention that the every moment I spent during the intern period will be a great
memory to me. Facing the real situation and understanding the factors in real field is the
utmost knowledge. As a teacher, the support and love and concern I achieved from my
fellow students is one of the biggest achievements of my life. I believe that I am one of the
luckiest people to get the opportunity to lead such a noteworthy experience. I think standing
on the other side of the school is the real scenery of the present condition of education of our
country. So every graduation course must include this course so that everyone can
understand the field reality and thus development of the education system of our country will
be possible.

CO NCLUSIO N
here was a time when only education was important,
nothing else mattered. At that time, education was a
one way process. But today, education is a two way
process and the environment of the educational institution is
also important. It is said that a child should be given proper
environment for studies for the overall development of their
potential. So today the schools should maintain proper
environment and the teachers should increase communication
with the students. Considering these things, it can be said that
“University Laboratory School & College” has some advantages
and some shortcomings. This school is blessed by her students
who are the jewel of this school. I have found them very
intelligent, curious and participating in the class. They have
interests in pleasant studies. Before joining the school I have
heard it many times that the students of University Laboratory
School & College are very dull, they are not meritorious even
not mediocre. Of course, social and economic background is
very important factors, but my quest was if the school authority
and teachers were more careful, enough to help them do well. A
little care, a pleasant and participating teaching-learning
environment can do much for them to become successful.
Improving its quality is the only way to meet students‟ needs
and be able to make a difference. I wish the school can
overcome its shortcomings and strengthen its advantages to
