On July 5, 2024, nationwide student groups organized awareness campaigns, protests, and class boycotts demanding the abolition of the quota system in government jobs. Coordinators of the anti-discrimination student movement carried out both online and offline programs across the country. The previous evening, movement leader Nahid Islam announced a three-day action plan: public engagement on July 5, protest rallies from universities and colleges on July 6, and a complete boycott of classes and exams on July 7. Dhaka University students showed solidarity by actively participating. Meanwhile, the “White Panel,” a pro-BNP-Jamaat teachers’ group, expressed concern over a High Court ruling partially invalidating a government circular on quotas and supported the students’ cause.
