Primary school assistant teachers across Bangladesh have launched an indefinite work stoppage starting Thursday, November 27, demanding implementation of three key reforms. The teachers, under the banner of the Primary Teachers’ Demand Implementation Council, are calling for placement in the 10th pay grade, resolution of complications regarding higher grade eligibility after 10 and 16 years of service, and 100% departmental promotion from assistant to head teacher. The decision follows earlier demonstrations in Dhaka, where police clashes left over a hundred teachers injured. Despite meetings with senior officials from the Ministry of Primary and Mass Education and the Ministry of Finance, the teachers claim that the government has failed to make satisfactory progress on their demands. The council has stated that the full-day work stoppage will continue until the Ministry of Finance fulfills its commitments, including issuance of the 11th grade notification and other pending reforms.
