45,000 teachers to join primary schools from July

The written test for the recruitment of 45,000 assistant teachers for government primary schools will be held in three phases. The oral test will be taken as soon as possible. Eligible candidates will start joining from next July.

State Minister for Primary and Mass Education Md Zakir Hossain said this at a press briefing held at the Secretariat on Thursday.

The state minister said that despite the promise to recruit 32,000 teachers across the country, many assistant teacher posts have become vacant in the last two years. As a result, we have decided to recruit 45,000 teachers across the country.

The Primary Education Completion (PEC) examination of this year may not hold this year. A decision in principle about this will be taken before three months of November, he also said.

Secretary of the Ministry of Primary and Mass Education Md. Aminul Islam Khan, Director General of the Directorate of Primary Education Alamgir Muhammad Mansurul Alam were also present.
