The Bangladesh government will print 320 million free textbooks for school students in the upcoming academic year. Around 80,000 metric tons of paper will be required for the printing. Paper mill owners will sign agreements with the government to supply the paper at fixed prices to ensure timely printing. The decision was made at a meeting between the Ministry of Education and paper mill owners held on Monday.
After the meeting, Education Minister Ehsanul Haque Milon said the ministry was assured that the books would be printed and distributed on time. He noted that coordination issues between press and paper mill owners had been identified, and the mills agreed to supply the required paper without raising prices. Education Secretary Abdul Khalek stated that tenders had already begun through the National Curriculum and Textbook Board (NCTB), and press owners were participating.
Paper mill representatives, including the CEO of Bashundhara Paper Mills Ltd., pledged to maintain communication with NCTB and ensure timely paper delivery to avoid previous years’ problems.
