'Streamless' learning: How are ninth graders faring under Bangladesh's new curriculum?
Bangladesh's education system has undergone a major transformation with ninth graders now entering their new classes without being segregated into traditional streams – science, arts, and business studies. The shift aligns with the new curriculum's aim to eliminate subject divisions at this level. While some parents have expressed concerns about the new approach, students have indicated a preference for the revised curriculum, which encourages collaborative learning through group assignments. The National Curriculum and Textbook Board (NCTB) believes that the new system will better equip students to adapt to life's changes. However, critics of the new curriculum argue that it may result in reduced focus on science, potentially leaving students less prepared for higher secondary education.
