The government is celebrating 'Textbook Festival' after reaching
textbooks among students throughout the country on the first day of the
new year.
Education minister Nurul Islam Nahid inaugurated the festival around 9:45am on Sunday by distributing textbooks among the learners of Viqarunnisa Noon School and College.
On Dec 29 last year, the prime minister launched the free textbook distribution programme by handing over books to 15 students of grade-1 to grade-9.
This time, the government distributed a total 221,366,383 units of textbooks for 31,213,759 students of all levels.
Starting from 2010, the students are getting their textbooks on the first day of new year; earlier, they had to wait until March to April.
"Delivering books to students on the first day of the year has started developing the quality of education in the long-term. Results of the public examinations prove it," the education minister said.
He assured the students of improved quality of textbooks next year.
The education minister distributed textbooks among Motijheel Government Boys' School students at noon.
Around 11am, the primary and mass education minister Mohammad Afsarul Amin gave out books among Motijheel Ideal Government Primary School.
He said at a news conference in his office that on the first day of the new year, textbooks have been distributed among students of 82,000 educational institutions countrywide.
"Let us know if anyone has missed out," he told journalists.
National Curriculum and Textbook Board (NCTB) chairman professor Mostofa Kamaluddin told that the local administration and public representatives have distributed textbooks among the students "in a festive mood."
He said this year printing a book cost more up as the printing quality and papers used are better. "This year each book cost Tk 24.37 whereas in last year it was Tk 23.86."
All the books of primary and secondary level can be downloaded in e-book format from the NCTB website (www.nctb.gov.bd).
For a total 18,131,893 primary level students of both Bengali and English versions, 103,594,651 units of textbooks on 56 subjects have been printed. And for 8,423,420 students of secondary Bengali and English versions and SSC Vocational, a total 85,280,836 units of textbooks on 172 subjects are out.
