Women teachers
There are a few (negligible number) women teachers working in Non-Government rural secondary schools. To have better prepared women teachers in non-government rural secondary schools, a project, PROMOTE, is working for more than six years all over Bangladesh. There are a good number of fellows trying to get teaching positions in these schools.
Non-government secondary schools have to fill-up the 30% women teachers' quota. But still now, schools are not recruiting women teachers, and some of them do not have a single woman employed as teacher.
Recently, Puthimari high school, Sherkole, Singra, Natore has recruited male teachers in violation of the 30% women teachers' quota, though some women had applied for the jobs.

I would like to draw the attention of our Honourable Education Minister to this problem.
