Education Minister A N M Ehsanul Haque Milan has stated that there is no scope for relaxing educational qualifications in the election of managing committees of educational institutions under the new policy. He clarified that the verification process will proceed in stages, starting with the Upazila Nirbahi Officer (UNO), followed by the Deputy Commissioner (DC), before three names are sent to the respective education board.

Speaking to journalists after a prize-giving ceremony in Kachua, Chandpur, on Friday afternoon, the minister said that authorities are considering how to ensure that qualified, educated, and socially active individuals are involved in managing committees. He acknowledged that some diploma engineers and education enthusiasts, though not degree holders, have made significant contributions to education.

Milan added that further discussions will be held at the level of Members of Parliament and the Prime Minister to decide how to enhance the role of managing committees in improving education quality. He emphasized that nowhere has it been stated that educational qualifications will be relaxed.
