Charfassion Government T. Barrett Secondary School in Charfassion upazila of Bhola is operating with nine teachers for about 1,200 students, according to a report published on August 19, 2026. Of its 17 approved teaching posts, eight are vacant, while the head teacher position is also unfilled. Assistant head teacher Taslima Begum is serving as acting head teacher.

The school reportedly has no office assistants despite having two such approved posts. Its nine teachers must manage regular classes, examinations, script marking, result preparation, attendance monitoring and student discipline. Workloads rise further around half-yearly and annual examinations, the Class Eight scholarship examination, Class Nine test examination and SSC-related academic activities.

Parents at a recent school gathering complained that the staffing shortage makes adequate supervision in classrooms and on campus difficult. Guardian and educator Ilias Hossain called for part-time appointments. Taslima Begum said she would inform the school president, the upazila executive officer and relevant authorities. School president and Charfassion Upazila Executive Officer Romana Afroz said authorities would be notified and the issue of appointing part-time teachers would be resolved with the institution head.
