10,000 pry teachers to be recruited by June

State Minister for Primary and Mass Education Rumana Ali has said preparations are underway to fill 10,000 teaching positions at government-run primary schools by June, report agencies.
In the third phase of the recruitment process, candidates from the Dhaka and Chattogram divisions sat for a one-hour written exam from 10:00 am to 11:00 am on Friday.
During her visit to Cumilla Victoria Government College, where the exams were being conducted, Rumana emphasised the government's commitment to transparency throughout the recruitment process.
"Those who pass the [recruitment] exam with utmost transparency will be appointed as teachers," she said.
Rumana also laid a wreath at the mural of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, which has been installed on the campus.
After inspecting the exam centre, Rumana said: "The exam is being conducted properly, but the number of candidates is slightly lower this year."
In Cumilla, as many as 32,199 candidates -- 14,767 women and 17,432 men -- sat for the test.
The recruitment process has been organised in phases, with the first phase taking place on December 8 last year in 18 districts across the Barishal, Sylhet, and Rangpur divisions.
The second phase of exams was conducted on February 2 in government primary schools across the Mymensingh, Khulna, and Rajshahi divisions.
