The Parliamentary Standing Committee on the Ministry of Education has recommended recruiting candidates registered through the first to 12th Non-Government Teachers’ Registration and Certification Authority (NTRCA) examinations through a government executive order, seeking to resolve the long-standing uncertainty over their appointments.
The committee also called for expediting the finalisation of regulations requiring presidents of managing committees of non-government educational institutions to hold at least a bachelor’s degree.
The recommendations were made at the committee’s second meeting at the Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban on Sunday, chaired by its chairman Md Selim Bhuiyan.

It was informed that the ongoing NTRCA recruitment process for principals, vice-principals, superintendents, assistant superintendents, head teachers and assistant head teachers at private educational institutions, including oral examinations, would be completed by December.
Regarding the National Curriculum and Textbook Board (NCTB), the committee directed the authorities to ensure that textbooks for the 2027 academic year reach students by December 2026.
