Review committee for public university teachers` pay
Government on Wednesday has formed a cabinet committee lead by Finance Minister AMA Muhith to review the pay structure for public university teachers, after months of protests.
The government recently approved a new pay scale for civil servants with retrospective effect from July 2015. The teachers claimed that pay scale was disgraceful and discriminatory.
Teachers of the 37 public universities in Bangladesh have been demonstrating for demands of a separate pay structure. Pressing for the demand, they observed work abstentions and a strike.
