IT and we
It is nice to see that the country moving quite fast in terms of information technology in recent years. The notion of "Digital Bangladesh" is now a concrete truth. The latest proof is the novel and bold step by NCTB in publishing its e-textbooks on its website. With the advent of internet, like every other sphere of life, education has got momentum with never-ending wide range of learning materials and aid being just a click away, that too absolutely free.
The mobile internet has made the job easier and so it is a matter of mere wish for a student like me to read, take notes and memorize and thereby prepare for the exams, even while aboard a bus, stuck at the seemingly never-ending traffic jam, by dint of mobile internet technology. So, this is no wonder that the NCTB's website has already received overwhelming and record hits from home and abroad to force the website collapse a number of time since NCTB uploaded the e-textbook just a few days ago. This is really an epoch-making and praiseworthy move. This can be an effective and modern solution to the problem of not being able to distribute the textbooks in time to the students and teachers, not just of the country but also all over the world.
I welcome this move and thank everyone concerned at the NCTB.
