The government has approved the 10th grade pay scale for headteachers of all 65,502 government primary schools in Bangladesh. This decision follows a Supreme Court directive and aims to improve financial benefits and social status for headteachers. Previously, they were in the 11th and 12th grade scales. The move is expected to boost motivation, enhance teaching quality, and ensure a more dynamic education system at the primary level. An official notification has already been issued by the Ministry of Finance.
