In a landmark move for the education sector, the Non-Government Teachers’ Registration and Certification Authority (NTRCA) is set to publish its 6th mass recruitment circular on Monday, June 17, aiming to appoint over 100,000 teachers in private educational institutions across the country.
According to officials, the online application process will begin on June 22. The draft of the circular has already been finalized, and barring any technical delays, it will be officially released on the scheduled date.
This massive recruitment drive—being termed the largest of its kind—will cover a wide range of institutions including schools, colleges, madrasas, and technical and business institutes. NTRCA sources indicate that more than 100,000 vacant positions will be announced.
However, the opportunity will come with certain limitations. As per NTRCA policy, candidates over the age of 35 will not be eligible to apply. Additionally, those who received their registration certificates more than three years ago will not be considered in this round of recruitment.
“NTRCA follows the recruitment policy outlined under the MPO guidelines. We cannot bypass the age limit or other structural conditions,” said NTRCA Secretary AMM Rizwanul Haque.
Applicants must hold a valid teacher registration certificate and meet all other eligibility requirements. Applications will be accepted only through the official NTRCA website during the announced period.
This time, the entire recruitment process will be conducted using NTRCA’s own digital system. Candidate qualifications and institutional requirements will be automatically matched to generate recommendations—aiming to ensure maximum transparency and accountability.
Since its inception in 2005, NTRCA has been responsible for conducting teacher registration exams and recommending qualified candidates for appointments in non-government educational institutions under the Ministry of Education.
Education experts are viewing this upcoming circular as a crucial step toward addressing the long-standing teacher shortage across Bangladesh’s private education sector.
