At least 600 MPO-listed teachers of government primary schools in Feni have yet to receive their salaries and Eid bonus.
According to sources from the district education office, teachers of around 144 government primary schools have not received their dues for the month of July and festival allowance for Eid-u-Fitr.
Earlier on August 1, the ministry of education sent allocation papers to all upazila education offices along with bills to banks.
However, teachers had to return empty handed from banks the day before Eid as there was no endorsement for the allocation papers and bills.
Mohiuddin Khanderkar, joint secretary general of ‘Beshorkari Prathomik Shikkak Samity’ said the teachers could not buy new dresses for their family members due to a shortage of money. It ruined their Eid plans, he added.
