 Does the civil service commission of Bangladesh map skills to align public administration major graduates' education, recruitment testing, and training to ensure substantial educational development?Gazi Mahabubul Alam, Romana Kader, Vesna Skrbinjek, Md. Mahfuzur Rahman, Karima Bashir and Nor Azni Abdul Aziz International Journal of Education Economics and Development, 2026, vol. 17, issue 2, 177-202 Abstract: Public administrative jobs should ideally follow a regulated framework to ensure recruitment tests; education and training are properly aligned. This is a topic that is currently much debated. Given the nature of the research question, a quantitative approach was adopted. The ratio of science graduates in public administrative roles is markedly higher than that of their counterparts who graduated with a public administration major. A science-friendly recruitment test increases the number of science graduates. Furthermore, science graduates do well in various aspects of job training. This may mean that the public administration programme does not inject adequate or specialised knowledge, which is required for doing public service jobs well. Policy reforms are needed to align recruitment tests, public administration programme and training so that educational mismatch is reduced. Keywords: education; public administration; training; mismatch; skills requirement; recruitment test; Bangladesh.
