No Decision Yet On Full Festival Bonus for Non-govt Teachers: Dipu Moni

The government is yet to take a call on doling out a 100 percent festival bonus to private educational institute teachers in Bangladesh, Education Minister Dipu Moni said on Friday, reports UNB.

"We have to weigh our financial capacity before making a decision on the issue. Anyway, we will see what we can do,” she told reporters during her visit to Chandpur.

“When we are working to develop the quality of education in the country, we must ensure the social and financial security of teachers. Otherwise, it will be a futile effort," Dipu Moni said.

Chandpur Deputy Commissioner Anjana Khan Mojlish, SP Md Milon Mahmud, and other senior administration officials, along with local ruling party politicians, were present at the media briefing.
