Sylhet:Overcoming significant challenges, Tahmina Akter Moumi, a visually impaired student from Sylhet, has achieved a GPA-5 in the Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) examination, marking a notable accomplishment in her academic journey.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, Moumi's success has brought joy and inspiration to her family, educational institution, and the broader academic community in Sylhet. She hails from Jaifarnagar village in Juri upazila of Moulvibazar district and is a residential student at the Green Disabled Foundation (GDF) in Sylhet, where she began her educational journey.
Moumi faced uncertainty before the examination due to complications in arranging a writer to assist her.

Moumi's achievement underscores the potential of students with disabilities when supported by proper opportunities, support, and an inclusive environment. Her success has been recognized with congratulations from Commerce Minister Khandaker Abdul Muktadir and the Sylhet District BNP. The minister, through a video conference, assured Moumi of necessary support for her future education and pledged government support for GDF.
A delegation from Sylhet District BNP, led by Joint General Secretary Siddiqur Rahman Paplu, visited GDF to congratulate Moumi, presenting her with flowers. GDF's Secretary General Bayzid Khan and other officials also expressed satisfaction over her success.
Moumi's accomplishment is seen as an inspiring example of the importance of education and equal opportunities, highlighting the impact of community and governmental support in overcoming barriers for persons with disabilities.
