The teachers of Brahmanbaria Polytechnic Institute formed a human chain demanded transfer of jobs of 777 teachers to the revenue sector from Skills and Training Enhancement Project (STEP) and 18 months salary allowance orgnised by Bangladesh Polytechnic Institute Teachers Federation and We Muktijuddhar Sontan Forum on Tuesday.
Teachers of Brahmanbaria Polytechnic, Sheikh Masum Mia (RAC) Tech, Instructor Md. Al Amin, Shahnaz Parveen Junior Instructor (Architecture) Tech, Abul Kashem, Md. Including Emon were present in the programme.
A large number of students took part in the human chain. They said since 2012 they have been playing an important role in developing the talents of the students by spreading the light of education along with the main teachers. Coincidentally, due to unknown reasons, their salaries and allowances have been suspended since July 2019. Despite not receiving salary allowances for a long period of 18 months, they have taken self-employed students’ classes.
In such a dire situation, many teachers become emotional, they are living inhumane lives, they are not able to pay for food including house rent, they asked for immediate intervention of the Prime Minister.
