The government is going to appoint teachers in the non-government (Honours) colleges with a view to curbing the irregularities.
The Education Ministry has asked the Non-Government Teachers’ Registration Authority (NTRCA) to make a master plan to translate the new initiative into action.
The top officials of the ministry held a meeting recently and prepared a draft in this regard.
Secretary (Secondary and Higher Education Division) of the ministry Md Sohrab Hossain presided over the meeting while Additional Secretary (College) Dr Mollah Jalal Uddin, Additional Secretary (Secondary-1) Chowdhury Mufad Ahmed, Additional Secretary (Secondary-2) Javed Ahmed and other top officials were present in the meeting.
The draft will be placed to Education Minister Nurul Islam Nahid for further improvement of the plan. A notice will be issued if the minister agrees.
Javed Ahmed said, “We have decided to appoint the teachers through the NTRCA. It will be finalized after getting nod from the education minister.”
The ministry sources said, the government took a decision to appoint the teachers in secondary and higher secondary level institutions in private sector to check widespread irregularities in appointing teachers as was done in 2015.
Since then the NTRCA appoints teachers across the country and succeeded to check the anomalies in appointment.
Earlier, the governing body of individual colleges appointed thousands of teachers pocketing huge amount of money from the candidates and thereby a good number of disqualified candidates became teachers. As a result, the quality education declined in secondary and higher secondary level affecting the whole education system.
Meanwhile, the Cabinet Division had sent a letter to the Education Ministry in June last year mentioning that the private and non-government colleges failed to ensure quality education to create world standard and skilled manpower.
It also asked the ministry to take proper measurers to ensure quality education.
The National University administration also sent a letter to the ministry with the request to appoint the teachers in the aforesaid colleges through NTRCA.
The National University said in the letter that it was impossible to ensure quality education in non-government (Honours) colleges if the teachers’ appointment remained unchanged.
“The National University have received many allegations that the governing bodies of colleges appointed hundreds of teachers through underhand dealings. So, it is high time to give the authority to the NTRCA for supervising the appointment process,” it said.
