Dhaka, March 5 -- Wahiduddin Mahmud - the outgoing education adviser - has announced a pay boost for MPO-enlisted (private) teachers. Festival allowances, entertainment allowances, house rent, and other benefits are set to increase.
He made this announcement during a farewell reception held on Wednesday at the Ministry of Education's conference room to bid farewell to Adviser Wahiduddin Mahmud and welcome his successor, CR Abrar.
