Non-govt teachers' silent processions tomorrow
Teachers and employees of non-government schools and colleges will bring out silent processions with black flags across the country tomorrow protesting the government move to pay partial festival allowance before the Eid-ul-Fitr.
"As the government has failed to pay full festival allowance within the stipulated time, we will bring out the processions," said Prof Quazi Faruque Ahmed, chief convenor and coordinator of National Front of Teachers and Employees, Bangladesh in a press release.
Quazi Faruque said the education minister assured us to meet our demands including two festival allowances in a year, but he has now broken his previous commitment.
Front leaders urged all teachers and employees of non-government schools and colleges to join the processions.
They also threatened to launch tougher movements including grand rally in December if the government does not meet their 8-point demand.
