Non-MPO teachers on fast unto death

Non-MPO teachers yesterday went on a fast-unto-death strike in the capital demanding that their job be brought under the Monthly Pay Order (MPO) facilities, reports UNB.
Under the banner of Non-MPO Bangladesh Shikkhak Oikya Parishad, the teachers were observing the indefinite hunger strike in front of the Jatiya Press Club.
Pradip Chandra Roy, president of the Oikya Parishad, said although they were appointed following proper procedures five years ago, their jobs are yet to be brought under the MPO facilities because of a circular of the Education Ministry issued on November 12, 2011.
He said they have already submitted a memorandum to the prime minister, education minister and the education secretary requesting them to withdraw the circular.
