Government primary school teachers across Bangladesh have launched a movement demanding a salary upgrade to the 10th grade and 100% departmental promotions. Frustrated by years of neglect and pay disparity, they began a sit-in at the Central Shaheed Minar, later marching towards Shahbagh with a symbolic “pen surrender” protest. The teachers argue that despite being the backbone of the nation’s education system, they remain underpaid and undervalued.
Experts suggest the solution lies in revising pay scales, ensuring fair promotions, investing in teacher development, and opening honest dialogue with the government to restore dignity and stability in the education sector.
