Government Plans to Recruit 11,880 Sports Teachers, Appoint Sports Officers in 495 Upazilas

The government plans to appoint one upazila sports officer in each of the country's 495 upazilas and recruit 11,880 sports teachers to strengthen sports development at the grassroots level.

State Minister for Youth and Sports Aminul Haque disclosed the plans in parliament on Monday.

Responding to a question from reserved-seat MP Neowaz Halima during the question-and-answer session chaired by Speaker Hafiz Uddin Ahmad, the state minister said the Ministry of Youth and Sports was working to expedite the recruitment of 495 upazila sports officers.

He said the government also planned to appoint 24 sports teachers in each upazila under the Ministry of Primary and Mass Education. The recruitment would cover eight sporting disciplines, with three teachers assigned to each discipline, bringing the total number of posts to 11,880 across the country.

In response to a question from Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Iqbal, Aminul Haque said a feasibility study was underway for a project to develop one playground in every union parishad. Construction and development work would begin once the project received approval.

Replying to another question from Mardiya Mumtaz, the state minister said a five-member investigation committee, formed to probe allegations of question-paper leaks in the Department of Youth Development, had submitted its report.

The report had subsequently been sent to intelligence agencies, and investigations were continuing, he said.

He added that several members of an organised syndicate had already been arrested over their suspected involvement in the question-paper leak.
