The Bangladesh Government Secondary Teachers’ Association has declared a full-day work stoppage starting Monday, December 1, after the government failed to meet their four-point demand. The teachers announced they will boycott ongoing annual and SSC preparatory exams and suspend answer script evaluation, raising concerns about disruption in secondary education. Their demands include incorporating assistant teachers into the BCS (General Education) cadre, filling vacant posts and ensuring promotions, implementing Supreme Court rulings on pending time scale and selection grade benefits, and restoring pre-2015 salary increments for assistant teachers. Despite repeated assurances from authorities, no resolution was reached after a two-day sit-in at the Directorate of Secondary and Higher Education. Teacher leaders warned that if their demands are met, they will conduct remaining exams on weekends and publish results within December; otherwise, they will decide on further actions next Wednesday.
