Non-govt College Teachers
Nationalisation of education system demanded
Teachers of non-government colleges yesterday demanded that government nationalises the country's education system to ensure quality education and eliminate discrimination in the sector.
Leaders of Bangladesh College Teacher Association (BCTA) and Bangladesh Principal Council (BPC) raised the demand at a press conference at Jatiya Press Club in the capital.
Their other demands include -- elimination of discrimination in salary, allowances, increment, promotions, and educational facilities as allocated for their government counterparts; appointing non-government college teachers to education administration; and implementation of ILO 1966 charter.
BPC president Prof Md Mazharul Hannan presented a keynote paper at the press conference.
He said the non-government teachers are deprived of medical allowances and yearly increment.
The teachers' leader also said they would go for a tougher movement if their demands were not met.
To press home their demands they also chalked out a nation-wide programme that include networking and view-exchange meeting at all education institutions on September 29; and submitting memorandum to district commissioners and upazila nirbahi officers on October 1-4.
