Bangladesh’s primary education system faces a total halt as 3.8 lakh assistant teachers have declared an indefinite strike starting Sunday, following a violent police crackdown in Dhaka.
Teachers marching from Shaheed Minar to Shahbagh were met with rubber bullets, batons, tear gas, and water cannons — leaving over a hundred injured.
Protesters are demanding:
1 .10th Grade Salary Scale
2 .Timely Higher-Grade Resolution (10 & 16 Years)
3 . 100% Departmental Promotion
Convener Shamsuddin Masud condemned the “brutal assault,” stating:
> “We are educators, not agitators. Every government primary school will remain closed until our demands are met.”
