Md. Mizanur Rahaman Mizan (মু. মিজানুর রহমান মিজান) is a Bangladeshi educational researcher, writer, and teacher by training. His work is deeply rooted in secondary education and teacher education, and he is widely recognized for his commitment to research-driven insights and accessible educational writing. He often writes under the single name Mizan, sometimes uses the abbreviation MRM, and is publicly known on social media as Mizanur R. Mizan.

Originally trained to teach English and Bangla at the secondary level, Mizan has since evolved into a reflective academic and editor. His interests bridge classroom practice, curriculum design, educational reform, and public understanding of assessment and pedagogy.

Research Interests

Mizan’s research focuses on:

  • Secondary education

  • : A Bangla-language platform that promotes research-based articles on education, society, and culture. Bishleshon.com aims to make complex issues more accessible to readers in Bangladesh, fostering intellectual engagement beyond academia.
  • TESOL School: A curated blog site dedicated to TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages). Although Mizan does not claim scholarly expertise in TESOL, he oversees the site’s editorial direction. Articles are written by anonymous contributors and edited under his supervision.
