Bengal Plans to Merge Madrasa Hiring With School Recruitment

The West Bengal government wants to change how teachers are hired for recognised madrasas.

It plans to close the Madrasah Service Commission.

The Bengal School Service Commission would then handle those teacher hires.

The government says this could make recruitment more uniform across educational institutions.

To make the change, officials plan to introduce two bills in the state Assembly.

The Assembly must approve the bills.

They would then go to the governor for assent, and a gazette notification would follow.

Education Principal Secretary Binod Kumar said the government expects to act this year.
