“This time, we have decided to prepare the question paper centrally,” said Zakir Hossain.
All the work including seating arrangement, sending and printing of question papers, evaluation of answer sheets, and preparation of results will be done automatically through software. “So, there is no scope for any kind of illegal intervention,” he said.
“If anyone offers to give a job in exchange of money, I request all to hand them over to the nearest police station or inform the police station or the intelligence agency.”
“We want to complete the recruitment process of qualified candidates through publishing written test results and taking oral test as soon as possible,” he added.
At present, there are 65,566 govt primary schools in the country with 4,28,701 vacant teachers’ post.
