23 supplementary books to reach students soon
The government on Thursday issued a gazette notification on 23 supplementary textbooks on 11 subjects for secondary students of the current academic session after fixing prices.
No book but these approved ones can be sold in the market or be taught in the classrooms; action would be taken if any deviation is found, says the gazette.
The district education office, upazila education office, and other offices concerned will strictly monitor the sale of these books.
Students from class VI to IX read English Grammar and Composition, Bangla Byakaron (Bangla grammar), and Rapid Reader as supplementary books alongside the textbooks.
Recently National Curriculum and Textbook Board (NCTB) has approved 27 supplementary books examined and scrutinised by an expert committee.
The gazette notification was issued on 23 out of the 27 books, as the printers of four books did not submit approval fee.
“All educational institutions will have to teach these books in their classrooms, as questions on these subjects would be from the books,” said the NCTB Chairman Prof Mostafa Kamal Uddin.
The NCTB chief also said, “We have issued gazette notification on the books and all the schools will get the gazette notification by next Sunday.”
Every year, NCTB approves the supplementary books written by different authors available in the market and fix their prices after analysing those.
