Muktadesh Desk: In the face of criticism, the Ministry of Primary and Mass Education has canceled the newly created posts of music teachers and physical education teachers in government primary schools. Masud Akhtar Khan, Additional Secretary of the School Division of the Ministry of Primary and Mass Education, confirmed the matter on Monday afternoon.
He said that the gazette of the revised rules was published on Sunday.
Excluding these two posts, a new gazette has been published with some wording corrections in the ‘Government Primary School Teacher Recruitment Rules-2025’. According to the revised rules, the teacher posts have now been limited to two categories.
In the previous rules, the posts of music and physical education teachers were included among the four types of assistant teacher posts. However, these two posts have been excluded in the new version.
In addition, a wording correction has been made in the rules. In the previous version, it was said that 20 percent of the posts in teacher recruitment are reserved for science subjects and 80 percent of the posts are reserved for graduate degree holders in ‘other subjects’. However, since the phrase ‘in other subjects’ is confusing, it has now been stated that ‘candidates with at least a bachelor’s degree in science and other subjects can apply.’
