Religious studies not excluded from new curriculum: Dipu Moni

Education Minister Dipu Moni on Saturday dismissed as false some social media speculation that religious studies are being excluded from the new curriculum for students.

She was talking to the media after attending a programme at the National Press Club in the capital.

“A specific group of people is spreading propaganda as part of an anti-government campaign. As they find nothing else to talk about, they are now spreading propaganda about the new curriculum,” said Dipu Moni.

“We are working to expand knowledge, skills, and morality through education by implementing the new curriculum. Religion, morality, and values are an inseparable part of it,” she said.
