In a significant development for the education sector in Bangladesh, the Monthly Pay Order (MPO) committee of the Directorate of Secondary and Higher Education (DSHE) has officially approved the revision of MPO benefits for a total of 1,354 teachers and employees working in private educational institutions across the country. This crucial administrative decision was formally taken during a dedicated meeting of the MPO committee held on the third day of September 2026, marking an important step in addressing the administrative and financial adjustments required for these educators.
The comprehensive revision process covers a broad spectrum of educational staff operating within private secondary schools and higher secondary colleges nationwide. According to the official breakdown released following the decision, the vast majority of the beneficiaries belong to the school tier, with 1,191 school teachers and support staff having their MPO files successfully corrected and updated. Meanwhile, the remaining beneficiaries comprise 1,63 teachers and staff members from the college level who similarly received the necessary adjustments to their monthly pay orders.
Alongside the extensive MPO revisions for the 1,354 personnel, the high-level committee meeting also addressed career progression for educators in the tertiary and higher secondary sectors. Specifically, the Directorate of Secondary and Higher Education committee formally approved promotions for 295 college-level teachers. This decision provides much-anticipated career advancement for these educators, recognizing their service and elevating their professional standing within the country's private college network.
The outcomes of the September 3, 2026 meeting were officially confirmed to the public and relevant stakeholders by Professor Dr. Khan Mainuddin Al Mahmud Sohel, the Director General (DG) of the Directorate of Secondary and Higher Education (DSHE). As the head of the department, the Director General verified that all the aforementioned decisions regarding the 1,354 MPO corrections and the 295 college teacher promotions were enacted during the proceedings of the official MPO committee session.
These administrative measures undertaken by the Directorate of Secondary and Higher Education aim to resolve longstanding pending issues concerning the financial and professional documentation of private educational staff in Bangladesh. By systematically addressing the MPO corrections for both school and college employees while concurrently facilitating promotions for nearly three hundred college educators, the authorities continue to process vital administrative updates through their structured committee framework.
