The educational curriculum in Bangladesh is undergoing significant changes. The revised textbooks will attribute the declaration of independence in 1971 to Ziaur Rahman instead of 'Bangabandhu' Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.

Bangladesh schools will soon get new textbooks in which it will be declared that Ziaur Rahman, husband of current BNP chief Khaleda Zia, and not Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, proclaimed the country’s independence on March 26,

New textbooks will say that Ziaur Rahman, not Bangabandhu Mujibur Rahman, proclaimed Bangladesh independence on March 26

Hasina Bangladesh want to “rescue” the Awami League’s usurpation of the Liberation War’s history. Others question the Liberation War itself.

Supporters of the Awami League widely believe that Mujibur Rahman made the announcement, while Ziaur Rahman, an Army major and later a sector commander during the Liberation War, simply read out the declaration under Mujib’s instructions.

The Bangladesh government will revise textbooks to remove exaggerated historical accounts and unnecessary glorification of individuals.
