Government primary school teachers in several districts of Bangladesh have become actively involved in political activities, including participation in election campaigns ahead of the upcoming parliamentary polls. Despite the Government Servants (Discipline and Appeal) Rules, 2018, which strictly prohibit political involvement, many teachers are openly joining party programs and maintaining close ties with local political leaders, weakening administrative control and educational supervision.
Investigations revealed that teachers in Kurigram, Gopalganj, Faridpur, and Rajbari are participating in rallies and campaigns. Some have been suspended for making inappropriate comments on social media about senior officials. Field officers report that local political influence and pressure from teacher associations prevent them from taking disciplinary action. The situation has led to disruptions in teaching, exam boycotts, and even school closures.
Director General of the Directorate of Primary Education Abu Noor Mohammad Shamsuzzaman stated that 43 teachers have been transferred and over a hundred show-caused for misconduct. He confirmed that committees have been formed in every district to monitor teachers’ social media activities and that disciplinary hearings will follow for those found guilty.
