Legal basis
National Education Policy 2010, approved by the Bangladesh National Parliament in December 2010 (Jatiya Sangsad); the implementation committee and 24 sub-committees were formed by ministerial order under the Ministry of Education to operationalize the NEP 2010 directives; no separate gazette notification number has been located in publicly available primary sources -- the committee operates under the administrative authority of the Ministry of Education and the National Curriculum and Textbook Board (NCTB) Act

Under the BNP-Tarique government (sworn 17 February 2026), the Ministry of Education -- with NCTB as the operational arm -- has fully reversed the 2023 new curriculum and is running SSC 2026 examinations under the reinstated 2012 curriculum with stream divisions; the ministry unveiled a 12-point three-phase reform agenda on 19 February 2026 and is preparing a comprehensively revised curriculum for the 2027 academic year while textbooks for 601 levels undergo revision; no independent implementation committee has been separately activated or publicly named since the new government took office.

Provenance & notes

Verification status is 'partial' for the following reasons: (1) The 'National Education Policy Implementation Committee' does not appear to have a separately gazetted legal identity with a published gazette notification number, committee composition list, or standalone website -- exhaustive searches of moedu.gov.bd, nctb.gov.bd, bdlaws, and English-language press returned no primary document establishing the committee by this exact formal name. Academic literature confirms that an implementation committee and 24 sub-committees were formed after NEP 2010 was approved in December 2010, but the precise ministerial order, date, and gazette reference are not available in publicly accessible sources. (2) current_head is listed as the Minister of Education ANM Ehsanul Hoque Milon (appointed 17 February 2026), who by portfolio chairs education policy bodies under the Ministry of Education; no separately named committee chair has been documented. (3) The functional implementation body for NEP 2010 and curriculum reform is operationally the National Curriculum and Textbook Board (NCTB), chaired by Md. Mahbubul Haque Patwary, under the Secondary and Higher Education Division. (4) The 2023 new curriculum (introduced under Awami League) was reversed by the interim government in October 2024 after Education Adviser Wahiduddin Mahmud declared it 'not implementable'; the BNP government (from February 2026) is continuing on the 2012 curriculum track and preparing a new curriculum for 2027. (5) established_year is set to 2011 based on the documented fact that the implementation committee was formed in 2011 following NEP 2010's parliamentary approval in December 2010; this is corroborated by academic literature (ResearchGate, Dhaka Tribune, TBS) but not by a primary gazette. (6) head_since is 2026-02-17 -- confirmed appointment date of Milon as Minister of Education in the Tarique Rahman ministry (Wikipedia, Al Jazeera, Daily Star, TBS). All factual claims about the 12-point agenda, curriculum reversal, and SSC 2026 reform are sourced from BSS News, New Age, BDNews24, and Bonikbarta as primary sources.
