The Ministry of Primary and Mass Education has cancelled its previous directive that mandated all government primary school libraries to preserve a specific set of three books. The notification, issued today, revokes the June 3 directive that required schools to keep one set each of 'President Zia: Rajnoitik Jiboni', 'Begum Khaleda Zia: Jibon O Songram', and 'Shobar Agey Bangladesh'.
Notification Issued by the Ministry
According to the notification, the Ministry of Primary and Mass Education has directed the director general of the Directorate of Primary Education to take immediate necessary steps to implement this decision. This move comes as a significant change in the policy regarding the preservation of specific books in primary school libraries.
Background of the Directive
The initial directive issued on June 3 aimed to ensure that government primary schools preserved these three books in their libraries. The books focused on the political biographies of President Ziaur Rahman and Begum Khaleda Zia, as well as the history of Bangladesh.
Implications of the Cancellation
The cancellation of this directive may have several implications. It could indicate a shift in the government's approach to educational content in primary schools. Additionally, it might reflect a broader policy change regarding the types of materials preserved in school libraries.
Why This Matters
This decision is significant for Bangladesh's educational landscape. It affects how primary schools manage their library resources and could influence the types of books that are prioritized for preservation. The move may also spark discussions about the role of political biographies in educational settings.
