‘Notebooks for students in future’



Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has pledged to give Notebooks to all students in future so they can download books from the internet.

“We will give Notebooks (to students) that will have everything. Digital books will also be given in the future,” she said, while inaugurating a textbook festival at the Gana Bhaban on Wednesday.

She said there would not be any need to send books to remote areas; students would be able to download books from the Internet.

Hasina gave textbooks to some students at the festival.

She congratulated those involved in book production for completing their task in time despite the political violence in the country.

The Prime Minister said 38.6 million people in Bangladesh were now using the Internet.

She said they were planning to make youths skilled in outsourcing.

This year, 43,353,201 students will receive 317,725,526 textbooks and other education materials.

Schools across Bangladesh will hold textbook festivals on Thursday to distribute books among students.

The government has been distributing free textbooks to students since 2010.

As many as 1.24 billion books have been distributed in the past four years.
