Committee Formed to Assess Spending on New Curriculum Implementation
A committee has been formed by the Ministry of Education to determine how much money has been spent on the implementation of the widely discussed and criticized new curriculum. Confirming the matter on Wednesday, October 9, Professor Dr. A K M Riazul Hasan, Chairman of the National Curriculum and Textbook Board (NCTB), stated that a five-member committee has been formed to ascertain the total expenditure on implementing the new curriculum thus far. The committee will be led by a member of the NCTB and supported by four other members. Their task is to investigate and report how much money has been spent on the new curriculum implementation up to this point. Earlier, on September 1, the Ministry of Education issued a notification stating that the new curriculum is not feasible for implementation. A revised curriculum will be taught from 2026. The notification also mentioned that with the collaboration of education experts, curriculum and assessment specialists, education administrators, and representatives from civil society and parents, the final version of the revised curriculum will be completed in 2025 and fully implemented in 2026. It also stated that teaching and assessment will follow the curriculum from 2012 until then.

Quota protesters, Chhatra League clash at DU
Students demanding reform of the quota system are fighting pitched battles against Bangladesh Chhatra League  (BCL) activists on the Dhaka University campus. Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) has taken control of the Dhaka University (DU) campus after dispersing anti quota students. Tension ran high as both sides of the students took position on the campus after 2pm on Monday (July 15). The clash first erupted at Bijoy Ekattor Hall and gradually spread to other places on the DU campus. BCL activists took control of the campus after beating the anti-quota protesters. Many students, including journalists, were injured. The injured were admitted to Dhaka Medical College Hospital. Both sides of the students hurled brick chips as they fought running battles. A number of people have been injured during the clash. Half an hour after the clash, there was a police presence on the DU campus. There was no visible presence of law enforcers during the clash between BCL and protesters.  Prime Minister Hasina has clarified that the government can do nothing on this regard. The solution will come from the court, she said on Sunday (July 14). She also criticised the demand for cancelling freedom fighter quota at govt jobs. At that night, hundreds of students gathered on the Dhaka University campus to protest against her comment over quota reformation. The students of different halls triggered controversy by shouting the slogan, 'Who are you? Who am I? Razakar. Razakar'.   PM Sheikh Hasina said the slogan was very unfortunate and chastised them for calling themselves Razakars.
