Barishal Cadet College is a residential military school in Babuganj, Barisal, Bangladesh, established in 1981.[1]

History

[edit]

Before the independence of Bangladesh, the then-Pakistani government established four cadet colleges that followed the British public schools' model. After independence, due to the success of those schools, the Bangladesh Defense Force kept those colleges (which are high schools by American definition) and established eight more cadet colleges, three for girls and five for boys.[citation needed]

Previously, it was Barisal Residential Model College (বরিশাল আদর্শ মহাবিদ্যালয়). In 1981 the Bangladesh government converted it into a cadet college. Its first principal was Md. Mufazzal Husain who was also the project director during the initial phase of development. As a cadet college, it has numerous placements of its alumni in the national armed forces.[citation needed]
