The government has decided to recruit 500,000 personnel to fill vacant positions across public offices nationwide. Prime Minister Tarique Rahman disclosed this during the question-and-answer session in the Jatiya Sangsad on Wednesday.

In response to a written question placed by a BNP lawmaker, Md. Shamsur Rahman Shimul Biswas from Pabna-5, the prime minister said that all ministries and divisions have formulated action plans based on a 180-day programme to implement the commitments outlined in the government’s election manifesto, and necessary steps have already been taken.

As part of this initiative, the decision has been made to recruit 500,000 government employees to fill vacant posts. Of these, recruitment processes for 2,879 positions are currently underway within the Ministry of Public Administration and its affiliated offices and agencies, he added.

Highlighting government efforts to modernise the education system, the Prime Minister said that within the next 180 days, free Wi-Fi services will be introduced in 2,336 technical educational institutions and 8,232 madrasas across the country. This will enable students to access online learning resources more easily.
