The High Court today (June 1, 2022) directed the Non-government Teachers’ Registration and Certification Authority (NTRCA) to recommend to the authorities concerned to recruit around 2,500 candidates, who qualified relevant exams as teachers of private educational institutions in 2016.
The bench of Justice Kashefa Hussain and Justice Fatema Najib delivered the verdict after hearing nine separate writ petitions filed by the candidates seeking necessary directives to this effect.
Mohammad Siddique Ullah Miah, who moved one of the writ petitions for 655 qualified candidates, told The Daily Star that NTRCA will have to recommend to the authorities concerned of the private schools, colleges and madrasas to recruit all the 2,500 candidates, who filed the petitions, as teachers as early as possible after receiving the copy of the HC verdict.
He said the petitioners have been qualified for the posts of teachers of the private schools, colleges, and madrasas through preliminary, written, and viva examinations, and their lists were published in 2016.
But, the NTRCA have not made recommendation for their recruitments even after they submitted memorandums to the NTRC and other relevant offices and formed human chains demanding recruitments, and therefore, they became aggrieved and filed the writ petitions at different times in 2020 and 2021, he said.
The lawyer said that the authorities will have to recruit the petitioners if NTRCA makes recommendations.
NTRCA’s lawyer Kamruzzaman Bhuiyan told this correspondent that it will move an appeal before the Appellate Division challenging the HC verdict.
