The Ministry of Education has proposed to increase the age ceiling for entering government service from 30 to 35 years.

Education Minister Mohibul Hassan Chowdhury recently forwarded a letter to the Ministry of Public Administration outlining the proposal.

Public Relations Officer MA Khair of the ministry confirmed the information to the media.

The letter stated that the age ceiling for various government, non-government, semi-government, nationalized and autonomous institutions is 30 years. However, students and job seekers have been demanding to extend the age limit for job applications to 35 years.

In 2018, the Awami League election manifesto acknowledged the issue and stated that the government would take realistic and justified measures to increase the age limit for entering government jobs, considering merit and skill. - Special Correspondent
