UNB, Dhaka :
Awami League parliamentarian Mohammad Nasim on Monday requested inclusion of teachers under monthly pay order (MPO) scheme, which guarantees the payment of a portion of their salaries by the government.
He drew the attention of Education Minister
Dr Dipu Moni and Finance Minister AHM Mustafa Kamal in Parliament, urging them to fulfill the ruling party’s election promise.
Nasim said thousands of teachers recently demonstrated demanding inclusion in the scheme.
“We, all MPs, remain pledged-bound towards the people and teachers … The time has come to fulfill our commitments,” the former health minister said, speaking on a point of order.
He requested the ministers to take steps to make budgetary allocation in the current fiscal year with a devised budget. Otherwise, he said, the promise would be broken.
