More than 78,000 teaching positions remain vacant in government primary schools across Bangladesh, causing severe disruption to education and administration. The vacancies include over 34,000 head teacher posts and 24,000 assistant teacher posts, with additional newly created positions still unfilled. Recruitment has stalled due to prolonged procedures, court cases, and administrative complications, leaving many schools—especially in rural areas—without adequate staff.
Although the results for 14,384 teacher appointments were finalized during the previous interim government, the process has been on hold for two and a half months. Only 1,122 posts have been advertised for direct recruitment through the Public Service Commission, attracting nearly 700,000 applicants, but no exam date has been set. Promotion of qualified assistant teachers to head teacher roles has also been blocked by a court injunction.
The Ministry of Primary and Mass Education has announced plans to recruit about 60,000 teachers soon and to resolve the legal issues surrounding 32,500 head teacher posts. Officials say the government is prioritizing the removal of these obstacles to restore stability in the primary education system.
