Transfer Software for MPO Teachers May Receive Final Approval Today

The Ministry of Education has convened a meeting to demonstrate the demo of the transfer software for MPO-listed teachers working in non-government schools and colleges. Final approval for the software could be granted during this session.

According to a source in the Secondary and Higher Education Division, the demo presentation of the transfer software is scheduled for today, Monday (16 March), at 11:00 a.m. in the ministry’s conference room. The Secretary of the Secondary and Higher Education Division will preside over the meeting, with Education and Primary & Mass Education Minister Dr. A N M Ehsanul Haque Milon expected to attend.

An unnamed ministry official told The Daily Campus: “The Directorate of Secondary and Higher Education and Teletalk have worked on the transfer software. They have already conducted trials, and the performance was found satisfactory. We will review it today. If everything is in order, final approval may be given today itself.”

Previously, there was no transfer facility for teachers in non-government institutions. Teachers could only change institutions by applying through public notifications issued by NTRCA. Index-holding teachers were eligible up to the third public notification, but the ministry discontinued this opportunity from the fourth notification onward.

Following protests by teachers, the ministry initiated steps to introduce transfers and formulated a transfer policy. However, due to a writ petition filed by one faction of teachers, delays in software development, policy revisions, and other reasons, the transfer process has not yet started.

Although the revised transfer policy has been issued, uncertainty persists over the launch of transfers due to the pending software. If everything goes smoothly, final approval for the software could be granted today.
