Bangladesh reforms government job quotas 

Bangladesh's government has published a notification reforming quotas in government jobs following a Supreme Court verdict with 7 percent seats allocated for different quotas in all grades after violent student protests.

Keeping in line with the Appellate Division's judgement, the government has kept 93% government jobs for merit-based recruitment and 5% quota for freedom fighters' children.

According to a gazette notification issued by the Ministry of Public Administration yesterday, 1% government jobs will be reserved for ethnic minorities, and 1% for persons with disabilities and third gender community.
