'No decision yet on 100pc festival bonus for non-govt teachers'

CHANDPUR, Apr 08 (UNB): The government is yet to take a call on doling out 100 per cent festival bonus to the teachers of private educational institutions in Bangladesh, Education Minister Dipu Moni said on Friday.

"We have to weigh our financial capacity before taking 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 improve the quality of education in the country, we must ensure social and financial security of teachers. Otherwise, it will be a futile effort," Dipu Moni said.
