Non-MPO Education Institutions Teachers and Employees Federation stated that they have been organizing programs to attract the government's attention demanding the inclusion into the MPO system for a long time. Principal Golam Mahmudunnabi Dollar, president of the federation, said: “We have long been applying to enroll teachers of more than five thousand educational institutions across the country into the MPO system. “The income of non-MPO institutions is very poor and we-- the teachers and employees—do not get enough salary. The leader of the demonstration said many teachers are falling sick regularly due to the dust and the heat. Earlier on December 26, 2017, the non-MPO teachers and employees started a continuous movement in front of the National Press Club demanding inclusion into the MPO system.
