The recruitment exam for heads of private educational institutions may take place on April 18 as planned, according to the chairman of the Non-Government Teachers’ Registration and Certification Authority (NTRCA).
NTRCA Chairman Md. Aminul Islam said a new notice will be issued soon. The exam will cover posts such as head teachers, assistant head teachers, principals, vice-principals, superintendents, and assistant superintendents.
A source from the exam organising committee said several meetings were held earlier. These meetings fixed the exam date before the latest policy changes. The committee also discussed question paper preparation with the Bangladesh Government Press (BG Press).
Officials believe changing the exam date now could create logistical problems. They said it may become difficult to arrange the test later if delayed.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Education has revised the recruitment policy. The new rule requires 18 years of teaching experience for institution head posts. This change has made previous applications invalid.
Because of this change, NTRCA plans to cancel earlier applications. The authority is preparing to invite fresh applications. Sources said the new application window may open on March 15 and continue until March 25.
