Building an inclusive and humane Bangladesh free from exploitation and discrimination on the basis of equality, human dignity and social justice is the demand of the present time. In view of this situation, education should be reformed to create honest, skilled, patriotic, creative and competent citizens who believe in tolerant coexistence and who are free from colonial humanity and have human values. On behalf of the Federation, we strongly demand that the interim government accept the 14-point demands of all teachers.”
