RAJSHAHI, Feb 19, 2026 (BSS) - To implement the Policy-2012 on Preventing Coaching Business by Teachers of Educational Institutions, a 10-member sub-committee has been formed in Rajshahi.

The committee related to the operation of private coaching centers was approved through a notification signed by Deputy Commissioner Afia Akhtar today (Thursday)).

According to the notification, the coaching business conducted by teachers of educational institutions is creating inequality in the education system and negatively affecting classroom-based teaching.

In this context, the committee will work to effectively implement the 2012 policy, monitor coaching centers, and prevent irregularities.

By virtue of his position, District Education Officer Md. Zayedur Rahman has been appointed President, and Golam Mostafa Mamun, General Secretary of CAB Rajshahi, has been made Member Secretary of the committee.

Other members, by virtue of their positions, include the principals of Rajshahi Education Board Government Model School and College and Rajshahi Government Model School and College; the head teachers of Rajshahi Collegiate School, Government Laboratory High School, Government Promothonath Girls’ High School, Government Girls’ High School (Helenabad), Siroil Government High School, and Haji Muhammad Mohsin Government High School.

Golam Mostafa Mamun, Member Secretary of the sub-committee, said, “Rajshahi has long been known as an education city. Maintaining the quality, ethics, and discipline of education here is extremely important. Coaching business by teachers of educational institutions is in no way acceptable. We want students to receive complete and quality education at their schools and not become dependent on additional coaching.”

He further said, “This committee will conduct regular monitoring, receive and verify complaints, and, if necessary, recommend administrative action. With the cooperation of guardians, students, and all concerned, effective steps will be taken to stop the coaching business in Rajshahi.”

Concerned stakeholders believe that if the initiative is properly implemented, classroom-based teaching will be strengthened and students will have the opportunity to pursue education in a financially less burdensome environment.
