Dhaka: Recruitment in the education sector must never be allowed to turn into a commercial enterprise—because education is not a commodity. It is the primary means of shaping a nation’s morality, intellect, and future leadership. When money, favoritism, or political influence determine teacher recruitment, the fundamental purpose of education collapses. Incompetent teachers deprive students of genuine knowledge, suppress creativity, and ultimately produce a generation that is unskilled and morally deficient.
Teachers are the true architects of nation-building. Therefore, the only criteria for teacher recruitment must be merit, qualifications, competence, and moral integrity. From primary education to secondary schools, colleges, and universities, transparent and impartial recruitment systems must be ensured at every level. Through a rigorous, competitive process that combines written examinations, practical assessments, and viva voce interviews, only the truly meritorious should be selected and appointed as teachers.
Giving the highest priority to meritorious candidates does not merely mean academic excellence. It must also include subject-specific expertise, teaching ability, research-oriented thinking, and a strong sense of ethical responsibility. This approach will enhance the quality of education, inspire students, and establish an ethical academic environment.
Only nations with merit-based and corruption-free education systems can achieve sustainable development and build enlightened societies. Therefore, taking a firm stand against recruitment commercialization in education and ensuring the highest priority for meritorious individuals must be the foundation of a new, just, and strong Bangladesh.
