Oral test to recruit college principals

The government has decided to introduce oral tests in appointing principals and vice-principals in the government colleges what authorities has said in a bid to 'avoid lobbying and nepotism'. 

Additional Secretary (College) of the Education Ministry, Mohammad Mofizul Islam, told that a three-member scrutiny committee had prepared a list of 'eligible' candidates from among the educational cadres for filling two vacant posts. 

He said the Education Ministry would hold oral tests of the candidates from the list and appoint principals and vice-principals. 

The Additional Secretary said that a meeting would be held at the Education Ministry on Jun 21 to finalise detail of the oral test. 

Now, principals and vice-principals are directly appointed at colleges and madrasas through Education Ministry from among the educational cadres. But this type of appointments allowed scope to raise allegations of lobbying and nepotism, according to sources. 

There are a total of 264 government colleges, 4 government madrasas, 14 teachers training institutes, 16 commercial colleges, 5 higher secondary teachers' training institutes and a government madrasa training institute in the country. 

No position of vice-principal had been created at 16 commercial institutes and 60 colleges. 

Education Ministry Joint Secretary Mohammad Ahsanul Zabbar said a total 278 aspirants has applied for principal and vice-principal posts and provided 10 types of information following a ministry circular. 

He said a 'fit list' was being prepared from among the candidates. 

Zabbar hoped the oral tests would certainly put an end to allegations of 'lobbying'. 

The ministry officials said professors or teachers with equal designations could apply for the post of principal while a professor, associate professor or teachers with equal designations was eligible for the post of vice-principal. 

They said the enlisted teachers with designation of associated professor or equivalents would be given posting as the vice-principals at the colleges under C, D and E category. 

They would be appointed at the A and B category colleges after carrying out their duties for two years, they added.
