About 1,500 teachers who are working in different colleges and directorates showing adjustment letter, now they will have to go back to their appointed institutions across the country as per a PMO order.
The matter was confirmed after sending of a letter by the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) to the Education Ministry where it asked the Ministry to compel the adjustment teachers to go to their own institutions.
The letter was sent to the Education Ministry on Thursday with the sign of Director of the PMO Abul Kalam Shamsuddin.
The letter said the Prime Minister has taken the initiative to with a view to running the academic activities of all educational institutions smoothly.
When contacted, Education Secretary Md Sohrab Hossain told The New Nation on Sunday, “I am yet to receive the letter. I cannot tell anything before getting the letter.”
On the other hand, Director General of Directorate of Secondary and Higher Education (DSHE) Professor Fahima Khatun said the directorate does not deal with the adjustment issue. Only the Education Ministry handles it.
Education Ministry sources said, the honours level government colleges, especially the colleges in the rural areas, have been suffering due to severe teachers’ crisis, hampering the academic activities.
There is no teacher in History Department and Chemistry Department at Mothbaria Government College in Pirojpur. The teachers of History Department and Chemistry Department have been working in the capital with adjustment.
Mothbaria Government College Principal Golam Mostafa said, most of the teachers want to go to their interested colleges. Even some of them left the college with adjustment letters.
“It is very difficult to run the academic activities now. But if the PM’s order is implemented the situation will be changed,” he hoped.
There are many colleges where a teacher leads an entire department. He or she takes the classes of Masters, Honours and HSC. As a result, the teacher cannot provide quality teaching.
The scenario of the city’s colleges is different. The city’s colleges have more teachers against the actual posts. There are 109 teachers against 85 posts at Titumir College.
Meanwhile, the educationists in the country hailed the initiative of the PMO and said that the initiative would help ensure the teachers’ presence in the appointed colleges.
They also said that due to the malpractice of the adjustment system, the teachers always try to go to the cities through adjustment. As a result, the rural colleges’ sufferings mount as they face drastic problem due to lack of teachers.
Professor Emeritus Sirajul Islam Chowdhury said, “The government’s initiative is excellent. The initiative will help improve the teaching quality and remove teachers’ crisis in rural areas.”
