A total of 86,445 applicants have applied for the posts of head teacher, assistant head teacher, principal, vice-principal, supervisor, and assistant supervisor in private educational institutions. The recruitment will be based on a 100-mark exam.

The current MCQ exam is criticized for being too short and allowing for guesswork, leading to potential unfairness. Suggested reforms include extending the exam duration and increasing the number of questions to better assess candidates' qualifications.

Increasing the negative marking to reduce guesswork and ensure that only knowledgeable candidates succeed is also proposed. The aim is to ensure that the most qualified individuals are selected for these critical roles.
