MPO teachers' New Pay Scale: Ministry writes again

The Education Ministry has again written to the Finance Division seeking implementation of the National Pay Scale 2026 for MPO-listed teachers and employees of private schools and colleges.

In a letter sent on Monday, the ministry requested a separate government order and additional funding to introduce the new pay structure.

Earlier, the ministry sought an additional Tk 3,267.90 crore for the 2026-27 fiscal year to implement the pay scale.

Of the amount, Tk 2,531.54 crore is required for private secondary schools and Tk 736.36 crore for colleges.

More than six lakh MPO-listed teachers and employees across the country are expected to benefit from the new pay scale. However, no implementation date has been announced yet.
