Education Minister Ehsanul Haque Milon announced that Bangladesh’s current education curriculum will not be changed but will undergo a review. He made the statement on Wednesday, during the new government’s first working day, at a press conference held at the Secretariat. State Minister for Education Bobby Hajjaj was also present at the briefing. Responding to journalists’ questions, Milon emphasized that the curriculum would be reviewed rather than replaced.

The minister recalled his previous tenure as state minister for education during the BNP–Jamaat coalition government, noting that measures taken then had curbed exam malpractice and question paper leaks. He expressed confidence that such problems would not recur. His comments came a day after his oath-taking, when he drew attention for energetically entering the National Parliament premises by jumping over an iron boundary.

When asked if similar bold moves would be seen in the education sector, Milon replied that the sector would need not just a “high jump” but a “pole vault jump,” signaling his intent for ambitious reforms through review rather than overhaul.
