Red tape halts govt salary for 2,000 college teachers

AKBAR HoSSAIN
About 2,000 non-government degree college teachers are not getting the government portion of their salaries for two years because of red tape.
A total of 263 HSC-level colleges have been elevated to degree level in phases since 1997, but their code numbers still remain unchanged, blocking their way to the government fund.
The current rule requires a code number for every college to identify it
and send the Monthly Pay Order (MPO) to it properly.
The Directorate of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education has long been saying it will sit with the education ministry immediately to sort out the problem, but the crisis drags on for lack of any initiative.
According to the rules of the education ministry, an HSC-level college could be elevated to a degreelevel college after three years of founding, depending on its facili

ties and number of students.
On April 8, the education ministry sent a letter to the directorate demanding an explanation how the colleges were included in the MPO system without changing their code numbers.
"The directorate is tasked with changing college code numbers, but non-government teachers are bleeding because of its neglect," said Quazi Faruk Ahmed, president of Bangladesh College Teachers' Association.
But sources in the directorate said some colleges were given the MPO status without following the proper rule.
"Teachers of 263 colleges drew the government part of their salaries using their intermediate college code numbers," said a high official of the directorate.
The directorate does not issue new code numbers to colleges, rather the education ministry holds the authority, he claimed.
Mohammed Junaid, director general of the directorate, admitted that teachers of 263 non-government colleges were not getting their salaries.
"The codes of some of the colleges have been changed and the teachers there will get the government part of their salaries soon," Junaid added.
