The government plans to place free textbooks in students’ hands at the very beginning of the new academic year. To achieve this goal, the tender process will begin before Eid.
Experts say strict measures are needed to eliminate irregularities in the printing process.
After the fall of outsed Sheikh Hasina government in August 2024, textbooks were revised hurriedly on a large scale.
As a result, the interim government failed to provide new books to all students at the beginning of 2025.
However, for 2026, the National Curriculum and Textbook Board managed to significantly reduce delays.
Now the government aims to ensure that all students receive free textbooks right at the start of 2027. Preparatory activities have already begun.
