Changes to teachers' role in new curriculum: Dipu Moni

Education Minister Dr Dipu Moni on Friday said the role of teachers is getting changed in the new curriculum of education, reports BSS.

"The role of teachers will not be remained within classrooms as they will play the role of facilitators and guides as well... learning will be enjoyable in the new curriculum. There will be no fear of examinations and the curriculum will be based on experience," she said.

The education minister was speaking at a view-exchange meeting titled 'Improving the quality of education' organised by Pabna Edward College, a handout said.

Addressing as the chief guest, Dipu Moni said for their own interest, the previous governments created a toxic environment by continuing the colonial educational system.
