The Bangladeshi cabinet has declined to approve the appointment of music teachers in primary schools, Education Minister Dr. A.N.M. Ehsanul Haq Milan announced in parliament on Sunday. The decision came in response to a written question from Chapainawabganj-3 MP Mo. Nurul Islam during the sixth day of the 13th National Parliament’s second session. Minister Milan indicated the rejection stemmed from issues surrounding the creation of assistant teacher positions specifically for music instruction at the primary level. Further details regarding the rationale behind the cabinet’s decision were not immediately provided. This development halts plans to address a perceived need for specialized music educators within the primary school system. The matter was raised as a parliamentary question, highlighting the importance of music education within the national curriculum. The government will likely need to revisit the proposal with revised funding or justification.
