New curriculum is being developed accordingly. Commenting that the outline of the new curriculum was not prepared in a day, the minister said, we have prepared the new curriculum through various studies. I have consulted more than eight hundred experts. I have done piloting at various stages. It will be implemented in a phased manner over an 11-year long process from 2017 to 2027.

Emphasizing the move away from rote learning, Dipu Moni said, "We have passed an era where parents used to ask 'how many questions have been covered?' The institute whose teachers could answer more common questions was said to be the best. We want to get out of that rote reading. 31 lakh book distribution program across the country was inaugurated at the event.

Under the program, these books will be distributed to 15,000 educational institutions in 300 upazilas of the country. The Secondary and Higher Education Department of the Ministry of Education and the World Literature Center are implementing this program. Under the chairmanship of Director General of Secondary and Higher Education (MAUSI) Prof. Nehal Ahmed, President of World Literature Center and Team Leader of Curriculum Development Program Prof. Abdullah Abu Saeed was the guest.
