Cultural organisation Chhayanaut has called on the interim government to reconsider its decision to cancel the recruitment of music and physical education teachers in primary schools. The call came on Saturday afternoon through a group musical performance held in the courtyard of Chhayanaut Sangskriti Bhaban in Dhaka. Chhayanaut said that music education and physical exercise are essential for the holistic development of children, both physically and mentally. Chhayanaut President Sarwar Ali said, “The power of music is far stronger than speeches. The primary and mass education ministry scrapped the newly-created posts of music and physical education teachers in government primary schools on Sunday, following criticism from religion-based groups.
