Dhaka University Central Students’ Union (DUCSU) General Secretary Forhad Hossain expressed firm solidarity with the non-MPO teachers demonstrating in front of the National Press Club on Thursday. On the sixth day of their sit-in, he said the teachers’ demands for MPO inclusion are “just and logical,” and called on the government to address them without delay. Teachers participating in the protest warned that they would launch tougher programs if their demands are ignored. Despite being recognized years ago, many educational institutions remain outside the MPO scheme, leaving their teachers and staff deprived of government facilities. Earlier this week, police halted the teachers’ march toward the Jamuna River. Meanwhile, teachers of autistic and special-needs schools continue their own 13-day demonstration at the same venue, demanding recognition, MPO inclusion, disability-friendly facilities, and education stipends.
