Education Minister Nurul Islam Nahid opened the much-awaited Textbook
Festival Day by handing over books to the students of Residential Model
School and College in the capital Tuesday morning.
Addressing the students, Nahid said the government has been distributing free textbooks to both primary and secondary students since 2010 to solve the textbook crisis.
In 2010, around 19 crore textbooks were distributed to students of primary and secondary levels.
A total of 26,17,74,606 free textbooks would be distributed this year, the minister added.
“That (the increasing number of distributed books) means the enrolment of students is increasing gradually,” an optimistic minister said.
He urged the students to concentrate on their studies to get the best possible education and to take the country to its desired goal.
The textbooks distribution is going on simultaneously across the country from today and it will continue for seven days.
On Monday, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina formally inaugurated the distribution by giving textbooks to students of different classes at Gono Bhaban in the capital.
The government decided on free distribution in 2009 against a backdrop of textbook crisis. It has been distributing books to both primary and secondary students at the very beginning of academic sessions since 2010.
Previously, only primary students were provided with free textbooks.
All the textbooks of primary and secondary grades will also be available on the government's e-books website (www.ebook.gov.bd) and that of the NCTB (www.nctb.gov.bd).
