পাঠ্যবইয়ে দাঁড়িপাল্লার ছবি নিয়ে বিতর্কের মধ্যে এনসিটিবির ৯ কর্মকর্তা বদলি

The education ministry's higher education division on Monday, 26 October 2026, ordered the transfer of nine officials of the National Curriculum and Textbook Board (NCTB) to government colleges and teachers' training colleges, citing controversy over a scales (dari-palla) image in a Class Six ICT textbook, which was used as a symbol of wisdom and has since been removed after criticism. The officials, all from the BCS general education cadre, were directed to be relieved from their current posts by 29 October, failing which they would be deemed relieved that day. They were transferred to colleges in Panchagarh, Shariatpur, Jashore, Rangpur, Thakurgaon and Lalmonirhat. On Sunday, 25 October, NCTB research officer Mu. Abdullah Al Zubayer had been transferred to Khagrachhari Government Women's College as a lecturer over the same image. Desh TV reported the ministry's order did not state whether the new transfers were directly linked to the textbook controversy.

Where accounts differ. Desh TV reports the ministry's order did not say whether the nine transfers are linked to the textbook controversy, while other outlets describe the transfers as taking place amid that controversy.
