Prottoy pension scheme: Quader sits with protesting university teachers

Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader today sat for a discussion with a delegation of university teachers currently on work stoppage to press home their demand for the cancellation of "Prottoy" under the universal pension scheme

The pension debate / Decisions about teachers made without consulting them

The scheme is not 'universal' as it does not encompass government officials.

The pension debate / Are students sympathetic to the teachers' protest?

Teachers rarely show solidarity with students' protests, regardless of their cause or goal.

Can we teachers use respect as a substitute for money?

Why should we feel embarrassed for wanting a secure financial future?
