NTRCA Announces Historic Plan to Recruit Teachers Twice a Year to Tackle Crisis
During a press conference held in the capital’s Eskaton on Tuesday, April 7, 2026, NTRCA Chairman Md. Aminul Islam revealed that the authority plans to hire both general teachers and institutional heads every six months. This strategic shift aims to ensure that no teaching positions remain vacant for extended periods, providing much-needed stability to the nation's secondary and higher secondary education sectors.
The Chairman detailed that the NTRCA is currently working toward completing a recruitment cycle every half-year to keep pace with institutional demands. At present, the 8th recruitment cycle is underway, with a target completion date set for June 2026. Immediately following this, a separate recruitment cycle will be initiated for the positions of institutional heads and assistant heads. By establishing two distinct annual cycles for general teacher recruitment, the authority hopes to eliminate the long-standing delays that have historically hindered the staffing of private schools and colleges.
To facilitate this accelerated recruitment pace, the NTRCA is placing a heavy emphasis on automation and the expansion of Multiple Choice Question (MCQ) based examinations. Chairman Aminul Islam noted that while the process was previously plagued by administrative complexities and long-term delays, the adoption of digital methods now allows for significantly faster result processing and publication. He reassured candidates that the recommendation process is being conducted with 100% transparency, prioritizing merit and candidate preferences to ensure a fair and corruption-free selection environment.
Regarding the upcoming 19th teacher registration examination, the Chairman indicated that a new circular would be issued as soon as the e-requisition data from educational institutions is compiled. He emphasized that the NTRCA is moving away from its previous trend of extending deadlines and seeks to adhere to a strict, time-bound schedule in the future. This reform is expected to provide greater clarity for job seekers and allow educational institutions to plan their academic calendars with a full roster of qualified teaching staff.
