The educational curriculum in Bangladesh is undergoing significant changes. The revised textbooks will attribute the declaration of independence in 1971 to Ziaur Rahman instead of 'Bangabandhu' Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.

Bangladesh schools will soon get new textbooks in which it will be declared that Ziaur Rahman, husband of current BNP chief Khaleda Zia, and not Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, proclaimed the country’s independence on March 26,

Bangladesh recently began phasing out currency notes featuring the image of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, coinciding with the introduction of new notes. This move followed the ouster of his daughter, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina,

Supporters of the Awami League widely believe that Mujibur Rahman made the announcement, while Ziaur Rahman, an Army major and later a sector commander during the Liberation War, simply read out the declaration under Mujib’s instructions.

New textbooks will say that Ziaur Rahman, not Bangabandhu Mujibur Rahman, proclaimed Bangladesh independence on March 26

Hasina Bangladesh want to “rescue” the Awami League’s usurpation of the Liberation War’s history. Others question the Liberation War itself.

Bangladesh's new textbooks for primary and secondary schools have shifted credit for the country's independence declaration from founding father Sheikh Mujibur Rahman to Ziaur Rahman. The changes for the 2025 academic year remove Mujib's 'Father of the Nation' title and alter historical narratives,

Bangladesh has changed its history in the text books for primary and secondary students which state that the independence in 1971 was declared by former army major and president

The Bangladesh government will revise textbooks to remove exaggerated historical accounts and unnecessary glorification of individuals.
