The Ministry of Primary and Mass Education has decided to scrap the newly created posts for music teachers in government primary schools, following criticism from several religious organisations.
At the same time, the ministry has also cancelled the new position of physical education teacher.
In addition to dropping the two posts, the government has made certain “wording changes” to the Government Primary School Teacher Recruitment Rules-2025. The ministry has amended the rules issued in August to reflect these revisions.
Masud Akhtar Khan, additional secretary of the schools division at the ministry, told bdnews24.com on Monday afternoon that a gazette amending the rules was issued on Sunday.
“Although the rules issued last August had four categories of posts, two categories have been included in the amendment. The posts of assistant teachers for music and physical education are not in the new rules,” he said.
