Assistant primary school teachers are likely to launch agitation demanding elimination of ‘disparity’ in the new pay scale.
As part of the movement, the teachers will arrange rallies at every district and division between November 1 and December 15 to muster support in favour of their demands.
They will hold a grand rally in Dhaka on December 24. New programme may be declared from the rally if the government does not take any effective step for solution.
The teachers said this at a press conference held in the Jatiya Press Club under the banner of Assistant Primary Teachers’ Federation.
They earlier called off their four-hour long daily work abstention from October 4 at the Education Minister’s assurance to look into their demands.
‘Primary Assistant Teachers’ Federation Chief Shahinur Alam said that they would go ahead with their programme considering academic activities.
“We are hopeful of our success,” he said. “Our programmes have been scheduled after the primary terminal examinations. We hope that the Cabinet committee will eliminate pay disparity by this time.”
In a written speech, ‘Primary School Assistant Teachers’ Association’ General Secretary Abdul Baten said that the prime minister’s announcement to address the pay disparity between the headmasters and assistant teachers has not been reflected in the pay scale.
He said “This pay scale is inhuman, insulting and unjust,” he said. Their other demands include a separate pay scale for teachers and fixing Bachelor’s degree with Honours degree as the minimum educational prerequisite for eligibility.
