1962 East Pakistan Education movement

The 1962 East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) education movement was a movement by students against the education policy recommended by the Sharif Commission, official name Commission on National Education, to President of Pakistan, Ayub Khan. The policy would have made English and Urdu mandatory subjects. It would have privatized education and revoke the right to free primary education as unrealistically "utopian".

The movement started on 17 September which is commemorated as education day in Bangladesh.
