The officials and employees of the Secondary Education Sector Investment Program (CESIP) occupied the Education Building for the fourth day calling for continuous agitation until the demand of transfer of jobs to the revenue sector is met. The Electronic Management Information System (EMIS) server has been shut down in this connection.
On Wednesday (August 21) in the morning, they had been holding a sit-in program by hanging locks on the two gates of the Education Building. Officials who participated in the sit-in program said that the movement will continue until the demands of transfer of jobs to the revenue sector are met.
The officials (college and administration) were kept locked in the room during the sit-in program. The agitators shut down the Electronic Management Information System (EMIS) server by locking the main gates of the Department of Secondary and Higher Education (DSHE). Agitating women activists were standing in front of DSHE ignoring the rain with their children in their arms.
From last August 18, the officers-employees of SESIP started holding a sit-in program in front of the education building. They demand that jobs should be shifted from the project to the revenue sector.
President of Central Committee of SESIP Officer-Employee Welfare Council and Badda Thana Secondary Education Officer Md. Abdul Hakim said, ‘In 2007, the job was supposed to be taken in the revenue sector. But the duration of the project has been extended time and again for the purpose of looting. Although we are working in permanent nature, jobs are not being taken in revenue sector. Even though posts have been created in the name of 1 thousand 187 people, we are not being taken into the revenue sector doing dilly dally. We have been protesting for four days. If the demands are not met, the agitation program will continue.
Meanwhile, all the normal activities of the Department of Secondary and Higher Education were stopped from Tuesday in this movement for the cause of the demands. SESIP officials and employees have been carrying out various programs for a long time to eliminate discrimination in secondary education by transferring 1 thousand 187 posts directly appointed in SESIP to the revenue sector with manpower.
