এনসিটিবির বই ছাপানোয় সিন্ডিকেট, সময়ক্ষেপণ ও কৃত্রিম সংকট: শিক্ষার্থীদের হাতে মানসম্পন্ন বই পৌঁছানো নিয়ে শঙ্কা

About the role

The printing and distribution campaign for national education board textbooks (NCB) is experiencing long-term delays due to complaints about bid rigging, low-quality paper usage, and administrative inefficiencies.

Responsibilities

• Multiple individuals and experts have complained that new academic years are being delayed every year, causing delays in delivering timely and comprehensive books to students.
• New academic years should start early enough to begin the entire process—paper collection, printing, binding, and distribution—by at least four to five months before the start of the academic year.
• Starting the tender process from March can allow for paper collection, printing, binding, and distribution throughout the academic year, ensuring that most books are distributed by November and new books are delivered to students by December.

Qualifications

Experts suggest that starting the tender process earlier, ideally by August, can prevent late deliveries and price fluctuations. The current system leads to increased pressure on the market and higher prices.

Skills

To ensure timely delivery, the printing and distribution process should be started early, ideally by August. This will help maintain market balance and prevent unnecessary price hikes.

Benefits

Experts argue that starting the tender process earlier can improve efficiency, reduce competition, and lower costs. However, there are concerns about the quality of paper used and the impact on students' learning experience.

Schedule

The printing and distribution process should ideally start by August to ensure timely delivery of books to students. This will also help maintain market balance and prevent unnecessary price hikes.
