C T Online Desk: The National Curriculum and Textbook Board (NCTB) has issued corrections for nine mistakes it found in three of the textbooks distributed this year.
The NCTB issued a notification in this regard on Sunday and posted the corrections on its website.
The mistakes were spotted in three textbooks for ninth and tenth grades.
Four mistakes were found in the “History of Bangladesh and World Civilization”, three in “Bangladesh and Global Studies” and two in “Civics and Citizenships”.
The NCTB provided all the corrections in detail on its website.
Earlier, eminent writer and academic Md Zafar Iqbal and Prof Hasina Khan expressed their disappointment at the plagiarised contents found in the new seventh-grade science textbook edited by themselves.
The writers associated with editing the book also accepted their responsibility in a statement issued on Monday.
As part of the new curriculum, science textbooks for sixth and seventh grades were printed and distributed to students as “Anusandhani Path”.
In an article published by the daily Prothom Alo, a complaint was raised over copying some sections of the book from the National Geographic educational site.
“Comparing this particular part of the book and the same text on the website, the allegation appears to us to be true,” they said in the statement.
