Education Minister Dr Dipu Moni on Friday (August 25) said that there is no crisis in printing the next academic year's textbooks for primary and secondary levels.

"As there is no such crisis this year, the tender process for printing primary school books has already been completed. Tender work is also going on for secondary schools. There is a committee to complete the tender process. These tenders are being sent to those committees for approval," she said.

The minister said these while talking to the journalists after holding a view exchanging meeting with the administration on the law and order situation and development activities at Chandpur Circuit House.

She hoped that in the next academic year, all the textbooks will reach the upazilas on time.

"And we will be able to hold the book festival (Boi Utshab) on January 1st, Insha Allah," she added.
