Education Minister Dr Dipu Moni said teachers will be recruited in a transparent manner to supplement the efforts of improving quality of education, reports state news agency BSS.

“There is shortage of teachers at the educational institutions…. So, we will start recruitment of teachers to remove manpower shortage in educational institutions,” she told a function organized on Friday (Jan 18) on the occasion of golden jubilee of Haimchar upazila in Chandpur.

Dr Dipu said despite a number of challenges, Bangladesh has some remarkable and praiseworthy achievements in the education sector.

Distribution of free textbooks among the students of primary and secondary levels, increased enrolment rate and eradicating gender inequality in primary and secondary education have already been acknowledged in different international forums, she added.

“We always encourage collaboration with different public and private bodies to build effective partnership to accomplish the journey of quality education,” she added.
