The 1962 East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) Education movement was a movement by students against the education policy recommended by Sharif Commission, official name Commission on National Education,[1] to President of Pakistan, Ayub Khan. The policy would have made English and Urdu mandatory subjects.[2] It would have privatized education and revoke the right to free primary education as unrealistically "utopian".[2]
The movement started on 17 September which is commemorated as education day in Bangladesh.[3]
