Primary school teachers across Bangladesh have continued their full-day work abstention for a second consecutive day, resulting in the suspension of annual examinations nationwide. The protest, organized by the Primary Teachers’ Demand Implementation Council, aims to press the government to fulfill a three-point demand, including upgrading assistant teachers to the 10th grade pay scale, resolving promotion complexities after 10 and 16 years of service, and ensuring 100% departmental promotion from assistant to head teacher. The council stated that teachers are participating spontaneously and vowed not to let the sacrifice of fellow teacher Fatema Akter go in vain. Despite a Finance Ministry press release promising reforms, the teachers claim there has been no visible progress, prompting them to continue the indefinite strike until their demands are met.
