The government has not yet made a final decision on the recruitment process for teachers in private educational institutions, according to Education Minister Dr ANM Ehsanul Haque Milon. Speculations have been circulating regarding the managing committees' role in teacher appointments, prompting the minister to address the misinformation publicly.
Government's Stance on NTRCA
Milon explained that the Non-Government Teachers' Registration and Certification Authority (NTRCA) was established in 2005 by the BNP government led by former Prime Minister Begum Khaleda Zia. This regulatory agency is responsible for registering and certifying teachers in private educational institutions under the government monthly pay order (MPO). The NTRCA conducts candidate interviews and provides recommendations to ensure teacher appointments are based on merit and qualification.
The Education Ministry is actively reviewing the operations of NTRCA to improve the transparency, efficiency, and effectiveness of the teacher enrollment process. The goal is to modernize and make the process more transparent to ensure fairness and impartiality in teacher appointments.
In light of the rumors about managing committees appointing teachers, Milon urged everyone to refrain from spreading misinformation. He emphasized that the government has not taken any decision on this matter yet and that the NTRCA continues to operate as the central body for teacher registration and certification.
Rumors and Public Appeal
Milon made his appeal on his verified Facebook page, following widespread speculation across the country. He stressed the importance of accurate information and called on all parties to avoid disseminating false information regarding the teacher recruitment process.
The minister's message aims to clarify the current situation and reassure the public that the government is committed to a transparent and merit-based approach to teacher recruitment in private educational institutions.
