The protest, organised under the banner of the Bangladesh Private College Honours-Masters Teachers’ Federation, marked the third day of their demonstration. The teachers alleged that police used tear gas, water cannons, and batons to disperse them on Thursday afternoon. They used tear gas and water cannons, injuring several teachers. They say their current salaries are insufficient to cover household expenses, with some teachers earning as little as Tk 5,000 to Tk 6,000. Being included in the MPO scheme would help alleviate our financial struggles and allow us to survive with some self-respect.
