Over 5,000 candidates, who were recommended for entry-level MPO-listed teaching and lecturer positions in private educational institutions, have not joined their jobs.
While 41,626 individuals were recommended for these positions through the sixth public notice, 36,343 candidates have joined the posts, according to Md Aminul Islam, chief of the Private Teacher Registration and Certification Authority (NTRCA), which is responsible for the recruitment process.
He said: “Although 57,840 candidates applied for 108,822 teaching and lecturer positions in the sixth public notice, only 41,627 were recommended, and 5,284 have failed to join.”
He confirmed that 300 candidates could not join due to incorrect vacancy information provided by institutions. Many others have taken up alternative jobs, while some failed to join citing the distance from their homes.
The NTRCA chairman also highlighted issues with some institutions where governing bodies or heads demanded bribes to accept the appointed teachers.
“This is completely unjust. If a school refuses to accept an NTRCA-recommended candidate, their MPO [monthly payment order] will be stopped, and the governing body or managing committee will be dissolved.” He also said.
The recruitment process began on June 22 following the sixth public notice issued on June 16, and concluded on July 10. The results were announced on August 19, with a joining deadline set for September 18.
The workshop was organised to provide information on the NTRCA’s recruitment process, with participation from NTRCA members and media personnel.
