Bangladesh’s Ministry of Primary and Mass Education has announced that the written examination for the recruitment of assistant teachers in government primary schools will be held simultaneously across all eight divisions on January 2. The exam will begin at 10 a.m., according to Masud Akhtar Khan, Additional Secretary of the ministry’s school division and a member of the Primary School Teacher Recruitment Committee. Earlier, the recruitment process was announced in two phases. The first phase, published on November 5, covered Rajshahi, Rangpur, Sylhet, Khulna, Barishal, and Mymensingh divisions, offering 10,219 assistant teacher positions.
