The Ministry of Education has cancelled the quota for women in the recruitment of teachers in private schools and colleges under the MPO system. However, the notification states that the qualifications and conditions for appointment as assistant teachers of physical education in private schools and physical education teachers in private colleges will remain unchanged in the MPO policy. The SHED also said that the order to abolish the women’s quota in the appointment of private teachers will be effective from the date of the notice’s signing. In this case, 40 percent of the total teacher posts in private educational institutions in city corporation or municipality areas and 20 percent of the total teacher posts in educational institutions in rural areas were set for female candidates. “However, there was no quota for female candidates in the recruitment of teachers in private educational institutions in places other than the Haor region, remote areas, and the municipal areas in the three hill districts.”
