A Legacy Built Over Time
Tracing our roots and the foundation of excellence.
Government Hazi A.B. College, situated in Sandwip under Chattogram district, is one of the most respected educational institutions in the coastal region of Bangladesh. The college has long served as a center of learning, enlightenment, and social progress for students of Sandwip and nearby areas. Because of the island’s geographical isolation and limited educational opportunities in earlier times, higher education remained difficult for many students. The establishment of this institution created new academic possibilities and transformed the educational landscape of the region. Over the years, the college has earned a reputation for promoting knowledge, discipline, and community development while inspiring generations of learners toward future success and excellence while supporting educational growth across the island and surrounding communities through dedication and service efforts.

Early Beginnings The early history of Government Hazi A.B. College began during the 1960s when local educators, social reformers, and community leaders recognized the urgent need for a higher educational institution in Sandwip. Students often faced difficulties continuing their studies because travel to mainland cities was expensive and challenging. In response, dedicated individuals worked together to establish a college that could provide educational opportunities closer to home. The institution was officially founded in 1969 and named after Hazi Abdul Baten, a respected philanthropist and education supporter. Despite limited classrooms, scarce resources, and teacher shortages, the college steadily progressed through determination and public support. These collective efforts built a strong foundation that later enabled academic expansion and institutional recognition throughout the region for future educational advancement.
