National Curriculum and Textbook Board

education board in Bangladesh

The National Curriculum and Textbook Board (NCTB) is an independent organization under the Ministry of Education in Bangladesh. It prepares curricula and develops, prints, and distributes textbooks for primary and secondary schools in Bangladesh.[3][4][5] All public schools and many private schools in Bangladesh follow the NCTB curriculum. Since 2010, free books are given to students from Grade 1 to Grade 10 every year to help eliminate illiteracy.[6] There is a two-language version of the curriculum: one in Bengali and another one in English.
