MPO-listed teachers to receive new Pay Scale soon: Milon 

MPO-listed teachers across the country are expected to receive the benefits of the newly introduced national pay scale within the next few days, Education Minister Dr ANM Ehsanul Haque Milon has announced.
 
“We have received the highest-ever budget this year, and we have all received a new pay scale. This has addressed some of the shortcomings that existed. Not only you, but our MPO-listed teachers are also going to receive the same pay scale,” the minister said.

He made the remarks while addressing the closing ceremony and certificate distribution programme of an online orientation training course for officers of the 45th Bangladesh Civil Service (General Education) cadre on Sunday.

The minister called on all stakeholders to work together for the overall development of the country’s education sector, stressing that the education system of the future would face global challenges that required collective efforts to overcome.

He also urged newly appointed education cadre officers to engage in research and pursue higher academic qualifications to enhance their professional expertise.

“I want all of you to engage in research. After teaching for some time, you should pursue research and obtain PhD degrees. But not immediately. First, complete your lecturer-level responsibilities. Later, when you become assistant professors, you should all get involved in research,” he said.
