Mistakes in school textbooks
As reported by the daily Prothom Alo, a few days ago, the textbooks meant for the school students published by NCTB are full of errors. The higher mathematics book prescribed for the students of class IX and X contains as many as 81 errors! The books of other subjects of the same classes such as general mathematics and chemistry also contain numerous errors. It has been also reported that the editors and authors of the textbooks are paid a paltry sum of honorarium for their job. While NCTB is spending crores of taka in publishing books, it is not giving the editors the honorarium they deserve.
We hope the institution will make sure that students get error-free textbooks from the next year.
