Directorate of Secondary and Higher Education

DSHE is the operational arm of SHED: SHED sets policy, DSHE implements it through a field network spanning 9 zonal offices, 64 district education offices, and upazila-level offices (total approximately 3,290 field officers and staff per official figures from dshe.gov.bd). The DG appointment sequence: additional charge on April 16, then current charge formalised April 23, 2026; BSS confirmed both dates from official SHED notifications. Staff count of 3,290 = 234 (zonal) + 684 (district) + 2,372 (upazila) per DSHE official website; head-office staff not separately disaggregated in published sources. The annual_budget_bdt field is null because DSHE's own operating budget is a sub-component of SHED's Grant No. 22 / 125 (Tk 47,563 crore) and is not published as a standalone line item. Established year 1981 is the year DPI was upgraded to DSHE; the predecessor DPI traces to 1823 but the current directorate form dates from 1981. MPO-EFT shift: decision taken November 2025 under interim government, implementation began January 2026; DSHE issued the compliance notification to all institutions requiring NID + bank account submission. The 8th NTRCA recruitment (9,708 of 12,951 posts under DSHE) is the formal pipeline for filling institution-head vacancies in non-government secondary schools and colleges registered with DSHE; separate from the 19th NTRCA registration cycle for assistant teachers.
