CU postpones teachers' recruitment after 'HC order'
Chittagong University (CU) authority yesterday postponed teacher recruitment process of Zoology Department after receiving a fax from a High Court (HC) lawyer saying that the HC gave a stay order on the issue on Thursday.
“The stay order of the High Court has not officially reached us. A lawyer informed us about the High Court direction through fax and for this reason we postponed today's (Saturday) examination,” said CU acting Registrar Prof Dr Shafiul Alam.
A total of 27 candidates were expected to participate in the oral test, scheduled to be held at CU administrative building, against two posts, sources said.
Amir Hossain, a candidate, in a press conference, said he submitted a writ-petition to the HC against the recruitment process, showing disparity between rules of the education ministry and the university's rules in the process.
Hearing the writ-petition, the HC postponed the test for two months. Having four first classes in one's education life, most of students are not getting a chance to be a university teacher, he added.
