The Bangladesh Inter-Education Board Coordination Committee has asked authorities to suspend the formation of governing bodies and managing committees at private educational institutions until further notice.

An urgent notice to this effect was issued on Thursday, signed by Professor Syed Akhtaruzzaman, president of the coordination committee and chairman of the Dhaka Education Board.

According to the notice, the Regulations on the Formation of Governing Bodies and Managing Committees of Private Educational Institutions, 2026, covering junior secondary, secondary and higher secondary levels, have yet to be finalised.

Against this backdrop, the committee requested the authorities concerned to keep the formation of such bodies suspended until further instructions.

Copies of the notice were sent to the education ministry secretary, director general of the Directorate of Secondary and Higher Education (DSHE), chairmen of all education boards, divisional commissioners, deputy commissioners, district education officers, and principals and headteachers of private educational institutions at the relevant levels.
