Polytechnic students not satisfied with talks at Secretariat

After holding a day-long blockade on Wednesday to press home their six-point demand, polytechnic students sat with the government representatives on Thursday.

The students of the Polytechnic Institute are not satisfied with the meeting with the Additional Secretary Rehana Yesmin.

 Therefore, they have announced to continue their movement. At the same time, they will announce a tough program.
The meeting continued about three hours at the Secretariat.

The six-point demand placed by the polytechnic students includes the transfer of ‘controversial craft instructors’ recruited after 2021, ensuring four years of education in the diploma engineering course, and making each semester a full term of six months. 

They further demanded that no one other than diploma engineers be allowed to apply for the post of deputy assistant engineer (10th grade), and that the post of deputy assistant engineer and other equivalent positions be reserved exclusively for diploma engineers.
