"Despite having years of experience, many qualified assistant teachers and assistant headmasters are not being promoted," said Abu Naser, assistant teacher of Begumganj Govt Pilot High School in Noakhali.
Quoting newspaper reports on the vacant posts of different positions, BGSATA President Mofazzal Hossain said this is hampering educational activities badly.
Shamsun Nahar Saima, assistant headmaster of Biddamoyi Government High School in Mymensingh, said implementation of the new education policy would not be possible unless the problem is solved.
