Teachers seeking the nationalisation of MPO-listed institutions have suspended their street protest after announcing a three-day work stoppage. On Wednesday, the march towards the Secretariat began shortly after 2pm, following a sit-in outside the Press Club from 10am. Delwar Hossain Azizi, member secretary of the “MPO-Bhukto Shikkha Jatiyakaran Protyashi Jote”, said the teachers had proposed increasing house rent allowance as a percentage. The education ministry informed them it would raise the allowance by 20 percent and send the proposal to the finance ministry. Azizi said, “MPO-listed teachers and staff are the backbone of the education system, yet we face persistent discrimination.
