Recommended primary teachers protest in Shahbag over appointment delays

Recommended candidates for primary assistant teacher posts staged fresh protests in Shahbag on Sunday, demanding the issuance of their appointment letters.

The protesters brought out a procession from in front of the Bangladesh National Museum around 10:00am. Police stopped them from moving onto the main road, prompting the demonstrators to take up position in front of the museum and continue their protest.

At the time of filing this report, protesters and police remained in a face-off, with the demonstration ongoing.

Chanting slogans such as “No more promises, we want implementation”, “We want to return to classrooms—students are waiting”, and “We will not bear the burden of delay—we will not leave without appointment letters”, the demonstrators pressed their demands.
