Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus has urged officials to expedite the recruitment process for 32,000 vacant head teacher jobs in government elementary schools across the country.
He issued the command during a meeting on Monday afternoon at the state guesthouse in Jamuna, which was attended by Primary and Mass Education Ministry Adviser Dr Bidhan Ranjan Roy Poddar, Secretary Abu Taher Md Masud Rana, Principal Secretary to the Chief Adviser Siraj Uddin Mia, and other senior officials.
The forum discussed the current state of elementary education, school-level performance, and infrastructure development. The chief adviser questioned about ratings indicating which schools were functioning well.
Dr. Bidhan Ranjan Roy observed, "Despite tremendous investment in infrastructure improvement in primary education, the intended learning outcomes have not been met. We've implemented a school-based rating system, and specific programs are being developed for underperforming schools.
He went on to say that schools with higher academic success typically have effective principals and positive staff connections.
In this context, Yunus directed that, in addition to promoting qualified individuals to head teacher positions, a new recruitment process be implemented immediately.

In this context, Yunus directed that, in addition to promoting qualified individuals to head teacher positions, a new recruitment process be implemented immediately.
He stated, "Headteacher recruitment must be based on qualifications, experience, and age groups. Those with substantial teaching experience should be prioritized, but younger applicants must also be given opportunities to take on leadership roles."
The chief adviser urged the ministry to work with the Public Service Commission (PSC) to quickly issue the recruitment circular.
He also emphasized the necessity for a clear policy on teacher transfers. "Many people take jobs in rural locations, only to later advocate for transfers to cities. This reduces transparency. "There must be a clearly defined transfer process that is strictly followed," he stated.

Muhammad Yunus also urged relevant authorities to promote gender-friendly school infrastructure, advocating that at least one female architect be included on every school building committee, adding, "Planning, design, and implementation must prioritise the needs of girls."
He emphasized increased internet connectivity and multimedia classrooms in basic schools. "We must promote the use of technology in primary education. "If every school has access to multimedia-based learning, the quality of education will improve dramatically," he continued.
The conference finished with a decision to present a draft of the head teacher recruitment and transfer policy within one month, as well as to continue evaluating school performance countrywide.
