The Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education, Dhaka has suspended the academic activities of two colleges bearing the name “Peace” in Dhaka. The government investigated all Peace schools when Peace TV was banned in Bangladesh on July 10 this year. The board authorities issued two separate orders on Thursday cancelling the academic activities of Dhaka Peace College in Natunbazar, Gulshan and Peaceful College in South Banasree, Khilgaon. The government decided to shut down all unapproved Peace schools operating across the country, apparently in the face of controversy regarding their burdensome curriculum and radical views. The action was taken following written directives from the Ministry of Education, board officials told the Dhaka Tribune.
