CU Correspondent :
Chittagong University (CU) students fear that they would face a long session jam due to ongoing demonstration of the teachers over the pay scale this year.
The Federation of Bangladesh University Teachers’ Association (FBUTA), a central organisation of university teachers, on January 3 announced to launch an indefinite strike today demanding a revision of the pay scale and restoration of selection grade and time scale benefits.
However, the Chittagong University Teachers Association (Cuta) started the demonstration nine days earlier.
Over the last one week, no classes were held during the period of strike except for the scheduled examinations and inevitable administrative activities.
All academic and administrative activities will remain halted from today until their demand is met, said General Secretary of Cuta Kazi SM Khasrul Alam Kuddusi.
Mehedi Hasan, a student of accounting and information system, said, “My friends in other departments have already graduated but I am still in the fourth year.
If the strike continues, it may take two more years for me to graduate.” “A supplementary examination is scheduled for January 13. If it is not held due to the strike, publication of our results will linger and hence completion of the course,” said Syed Mohon Uddin, a second-year student of communication and journalism.
