Hello everyone. This is Ismat Farzana from Bangladesh. I was born in 1974 in the district of Barisal, which was well-known as the “ancient Venice” of Bangladesh. I am the eldest sibling out of four. My spouse, Iqbal Hossain, is the Director, People & Operations of Underprivileged Children’s Education Programme(UCEP) Bangladesh.

I have completed my MSC in Botany (Cytogenetic) from Dhaka University. I achieved 1st class in  both my B.S.C(Hons) & M.S.C examination. I come from a family of teachers. I was always encouraged by my parents to pursue teaching. Teaching was always enjoyable to me; therefore, agreed and decided to take it as a profession. I am currently working as a Senior Lecturer, department of Biology, Cambrian School & College, Dhaka, Bangladesh .I have started my professional journey since 1999-as a lecturer of Khilgaon Model College , City of Dhaka , Bangladesh from 1999-2001. Thereafter, I joined Dhaka Residential Model College, Bangladesh. In 2006, I moved to Sri Lanka with my husband to support him for relocation of his job. We lived there for two years. We came back to Bangladesh in 2008 & then I joined Cambrian School & College as a Lecturer and I’ve been working here ever since; a reputed educational institution in Bangladesh where I can utilize my academic learning and communication, leadership, analytical skills and previous experiences. The Cambrian School and College has given me ample opportunities to grow as a qualified teaching professional. I am also a board examiner for HSC and SSC exams.

I have more than fourteen years of experience in the educational field having extensive experience in teaching and others co -curricular activities. I am an individual with results-driven approach and relentless in pursuit of excellence from educational and academic standpoint; believing in teamwork, transparency and commitment.
