Bangladesh’s primary and mass education ministry adviser Professor Dr. Bidhan Ranjan Roy Poddar announced that the long-standing demand of primary school teachers for an upgrade to the 11th pay grade is expected to be implemented, although the decision remains unofficial. Speaking in Monpura, Bhola, he urged teachers to suspend their protests and resume annual examinations. The adviser noted that the ministry has already communicated the teachers’ demand to the pay commission and is maintaining continuous dialogue with relevant departments. The ministry later issued a statement acknowledging the legitimacy of the teachers’ demand and confirmed that discussions are ongoing with the Finance Division, the Ministry of Public Administration, and the Pay Commission. Once the commission’s report is finalized, the Finance Division will take necessary action. Most teacher organizations have already suspended their movements in anticipation of positive outcomes.
