Textbook errors will be corrected: Dipu Moni

Education Minister Dipu Moni has said, if there are errors in the textbooks, they will be corrected.

During a program in Chadpur she said, “This year’s textbooks are experimental and trials have been conducted at 62 educational institutions over them. Even after that, there could be errors, and they will be corrected”.

She further added, “many have raised questions about the textbooks for classes 9 and 10 published this year. But these textbooks are not new, these have been there since 2013. However, corrections are being sent.”

“If anyone finds errors in these books, let us know, and we’ll correct it,” she said.

“It is impossible to have good students without transforming the education system. Rote learning is not being effective. That’s why we are trying to transform the education system. We are trying to encourage learning by doing. A teacher will play the role of a guide. Evaluations will be done every day. Education should also be fun. We just get the certificates but cannot say we have truly learnt. There are skills gap in the job market,” said the education minister.

The mistakes were spotted in three textbooks of classes 9-10.
