NCTB to correct textbook error: 'scales' mistakenly replaces 'brain' in Class VI ICT

A notable error has come to light in the Class VI Information and Communication Technology textbook currently in use across Bangladesh schools. The National Curriculum and Textbook Board (NCTB) has acknowledged that the word 'scales' has been incorrectly printed in place of 'brain' within the course material, a mistake that could confuse students learning the subject.

The textbook error, which relates to biological or anatomical content within the ICT curriculum, was discovered during a review process. NCTB officials confirmed that the printing mistake does not align with the approved curriculum content and undermines the educational quality of the learning material.

In response to the discovery, the NCTB has committed to correcting the error in future print runs of the textbook. The board is working to ensure that corrected versions reach schools promptly, minimizing disruption to student learning. Meanwhile, teachers have been advised to clarify the correct information with students during classroom instruction.

This incident highlights the importance of quality control measures in educational materials production. The NCTB has indicated it will implement additional verification procedures to prevent similar errors in textbooks across other grades and subjects in the coming academic year.
