Govt plans 'major' textbook overhaul

The government is bringing "major" changes to textbooks in a shift of focus towards quality as Bangladesh has "achieved" the target to ensure education for all, Dipu Moni has said, reports bdnews24.com.

"Big degrees are becoming useless in real life because our textbooks have no connection with reality. This is why we are making a reality-based education system," the education minister said at an event on Wednesday.

"Once it had been a challenge to ensure education for all. We have succeeded in overcoming the challenge and now are giving importance to quality education," she said.

Quality education will help the students become experienced and patriotic human beings, Dipu Moni said. "This is why we are bringing major changes to the textbooks," she added.
