Dhaka, 30 April 2017 (DNA BD) : The government will formulate specific law to bring an end to coaching and guide book businesses in the country, says the education minister.

“Teachers, who remain busy in coaching business instead of classes, will be brought to book under the law,” said Nurul Islam Nahid, while addressing an orientation programme styled “Connecting Classroom” for district and upazila education officers in a Dhaka hotel on Saturday.

Organised by British Council Bangladesh, the programme was presided over by its director Barbara Wickham.

Directorate of Secondary and Higher Education (DSHE) director (administration) Prof Shamsul Huda addressed the function as special guest.

“Due to different initiatives taken by the government, no question papers were leaked in last three years. We can hear about many rumors of question paper leaking just before the start of exams each year, but all these are baseless rumors,” Nahid added. source – BSS
