NCTB: New syllabus not suspended
Rumors of Bangladesh’s new secondary education curriculum being suspended are false, clarifies NCTB Chairman Professor Farhadul Islam. The curriculum, introduced in 2023 for select grades, is being expanded to more classes this year. Only a government decision can suspend it. The new system will be fully implemented across all grades by 2027, with the first SSC exam under this curriculum expected in 2025 or early 2026. Dhaka Tribune
