A delegation of agitating primary school teachers arrived at the residence of the Chief Adviser in Jamuna on Friday, demanding an upgrade from the current 13th grade to the 10th grade. The teachers are also seeking a salary increase from Tk 11,000 to Tk 16,000 to bring their compensation in line with other government employees.
The teachers, who gathered from various parts of the country, began their march from the Central Shaheed Minar around 4 pm. However, they were met with resistance from law enforcement at the Shahbagh intersection, where police blocked their path. Undeterred, the teachers staged a sit-in protest on the street, calling attention to their demands.
After tense negotiations with law enforcement, a 10-member delegation was granted permission to proceed to the Chief Adviser’s residence to present their case. The delegation, representing teachers from across the nation, has vowed to continue their protest until their demands are met, setting a deadline of 2 pm for further talks with the government.
The teachers, who have been advocating for better wages and working conditions for years, are adamant about their rights and have stated they will not compromise until their demands for fair treatment are met. They have warned of further protests if their requests are not addressed promptly.
Recently, primary school teachers in Bangladesh have intensified their demands for a long-overdue upgrade in their professional status and improved compensation.
The teachers, who currently hold the 13th grade, are calling for an elevation to the 10th grade, aligning their rank with other government employees. Alongside this promotion, they are demanding a significant salary increase, from Tk 11,000 to Tk 16,000, to reflect the growing responsibilities they shoulder in the education system.
These demands have sparked widespread protests, with teachers from across the country organizing marches and sit-ins to voice their grievances. The primary educators argue that their current pay and grades are inadequate, considering the crucial role they play in shaping the future of the nation. Their protests have gained momentum, with teachers vowing to continue their struggle until their demands are met.
Despite facing resistance from law enforcement during their demonstrations, they have remained resolute, setting deadlines for negotiations and insisting on their right to fair treatment. The movement reflects broader issues of salary disparity and working conditions in the public sector, as teachers seek recognition for their contributions to the country's educational development.
