The historic Muradnagar DR Government Pilot High School in Cumilla, established in 1858 and the only government high school in Muradnagar, is facing an acute shortage of teachers and staff. Key teaching positions, including head teacher, assistant head teacher, and subject teachers for physics, biology, and ICT, remain vacant. Administrative posts such as office assistant, computer operator, peon, cleaner, and night guard are also unfilled, severely disrupting academic and administrative operations.

According to school sources, the shortage has led to declining education quality and growing frustration among students, parents, and locals. The acting head teacher, Md. Moynal Hossain Sarkar, said the issue has been reported multiple times to higher authorities without effective action. Cumilla District Education Officer Rafiqul Islam confirmed the shortage and said efforts are underway to resolve it. Regional Deputy Director of Secondary and Higher Education, Mohammad Ariful Islam, stated that official applications would be recommended for prompt recruitment.

Local residents have urged authorities to fill all vacant positions quickly to restore the school’s long-standing educational legacy and reputation.
