This study focuses into the poignant narrative of riverine Char communities, exemplified by the case of Mr. Abdus Salam, a 40-year-old farmer residing in Guptamani village, Fazlupur union, Fulchhari Upazila, Gaibandha district. River erosion, a relentless force, has wrought havoc on their lives, resulting in the loss of homes, livelihoods, and assets. This study highlights the profound impact of river erosion on education, focusing on the struggles faced by families like Mr. Salam's. Amidst these challenges, their 6-year-old son, Md. Rakibul Hasan, a Class-I student, grapples with obstacles in regular school attendance. The research unravels the reasons behind irregular attendance, the absence of stipends, and the dearth of support initiatives for struggling students in Char areas. By exploring the heart of Char Kabilpur, it underscores the pressing need for interventions such as monthly scholarships and financial grants. The narrative calls for attention to the scarcity of resources and urges stakeholders to take action, ensuring a brighter educational future for Char's children.
