NCTB Specialists Md Mosle Uddin Sarkar and Md Hannan Mian have been transferred to government colleges in Patuakhali and Thakurgaon's Pirganj Upazila respectively. The education ministry issued the order on Wednesday, where it said the four have to leave their current posting within Thursday. An education ministry official said the probe body formed over the errors in textbooks, which triggered widespread sarcasm on social media, found these officials responsible. The NCTB works under the education ministry even though it publishes books for primary schools that fall under the purview of primary and mass education ministry. So far, the government has initiated measures against nine NCTB officials, but it's yet to send amended textbooks to the schools.
