The Bangladesh Assistant Upazila Education Officers Association has announced plans for intensified protests if their demand to upgrade their position from the 10th to the 9th grade is not met by December 5. At a sit-in held in front of the Directorate of Primary Education in Mirpur, Dhaka, the association’s leaders argued that the promotion would not require additional government expenditure since most officers already receive higher-grade pay through time scale or selection grade benefits. They emphasized that the upgrade would enhance administrative authority, social recognition, and motivation among officers who often serve 25–30 years without promotion. The association highlighted disparities with other equivalent upazila-level officers who have already been promoted to the 9th grade. They warned that failure to implement the upgrade could disrupt administrative discipline and weaken oversight in primary education management. The organization urged the Ministry of Primary and Mass Education to fulfill this long-standing demand to ensure fairness and efficiency in the education system.
