Long-Term Plan – 34,000+ Head Teacher Posts to Be Filled
Apart from the 2,382 posts selected for immediate recruitment, the ministry has shared plans to fill an additional 31,459 head teacher positions through promotion.

The combined recruitment and promotion will cover all 34,106 vacant head teacher posts in the country’s primary schools.
Why This Matters for Primary Education in Bangladesh

Reduce teacher shortages
Strengthen school management
Improve learning outcomes
Enhance trust in public education
The government expects that by filling these positions, primary education quality will reach new heights aligned with national goals and SDG targets.
When Will the Recruitment Start?
While the official circular is yet to be published, recruitment for the 2,382 posts is expected to begin within the next few months, depending on the PSC’s process and clearance. Interested candidates are advised to regularly monitor PSC’s website and job news platforms.
