Assistant teachers from the government primary schools, who are demanding 10th-grade pay among three demands, have suspended their work stoppage. Following a meeting with government representatives at the Secretariat, Shamsuddin Masud, convenor of the “Primary Teachers’ Demand Implementation Council”, confirmed the decision to bdnews24.com around 9:45pm on Sunday. The protest action is being organised under the banner of the "Primary Teachers’ Demand Implementation Council", a coalition of four teacher organisations. Bangladesh currently has 65,567 government primary schools employing around 384,000 teachers, according to the Directorate of Primary Education. However, assistant teachers remain dissatisfied.
