The educational curriculum in Bangladesh is undergoing significant changes. The revised textbooks will attribute the declaration of independence in 1971 to Ziaur Rahman instead of 'Bangabandhu' Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.

Bangladesh schools will soon get new textbooks in which it will be declared that Ziaur Rahman, husband of current BNP chief Khaleda Zia, and not Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, proclaimed the country’s independence on March 26,

New textbooks will say that Ziaur Rahman, not Bangabandhu Mujibur Rahman, proclaimed Bangladesh independence on March 26

Textbooks from classes one to three will remain the same, but textbooks for classes four to nine are being revised.

The Bangladesh government will revise textbooks to remove exaggerated historical accounts and unnecessary glorification of individuals.
