She said the government has decided to recruit the teachers before ending the ongoing verification, considering the shortage of teachers in educational institutions.

“If anything is found negative in the verification, his/her appointment will be cancelled,” the minister said.

Emphasising training for teachers throughout their service term, she urged the newly appointed teachers to acquire skills and efficiency by attending various training.

Urging the teachers to use technology, Dipu Moni said, "You should use technology during teaching. It will help you do your works efficiently."
