Website of textbooks launched

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday said Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) are part and parcel of the history of the nation.
"If anyone wants to write the history of the country and the nation, the name of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and Bangladesh Chhatra League will have to be there," she said while formally inaugurating the website of textbooks for the primary and secondary school students, opening up a new window for easy access to their textbooks.
This website for the school students is another milestone for the government in its forward march towards building a digital Bangladesh, Hasina said.
It will facilitate the students at home and abroad studying under Bangladesh curriculum to easily access their textbooks, she added.
Besides, she said, this website will permanently resolve the issues of shortage of textbooks and mismanagement in the distribution of textbooks.
