Gazette rejected, MPO teachers vow to continue movement

MPO-listed teachers have announced to continue their movement, rejecting the government decision of increasing house rent allowance by 5 per cent of the basic salary (minimum Tk 2,000) to teachers.

They started chanting slogan at Central Shaheed Minar to fulfill their three demands, including 20 per cent house rent allowance.

The Finance Division issued a gazette, approving the house rent allowance at 5 per cent of the basic salary or a minimum of Tk 2,000, citing budgetary constraints.

Later, the protesting teachers rejected the decision, calling it ‘insufficient and unjust.’

They announced a hunger march toward the Education Bhaban this afternoon as part of their next course of action.
