The protesting students of different polytechnic institutes across Bangladesh have decided to continue their movement as they claimed that their meeting with the education ministry authorities on Thursday failed to meet their demands.
However they decided to keep their pre-announced countrywide rail blockade relaxed for Thursday until they announce new programmes.
Some representatives of the protesting students met with the Technical and Madrassah Education Division鈥檚 additional secretary Rehana Yeasmin on the day at the secretariat.
After around the three-hour meeting, the student representatives talked to the journalists.
Md Mashfiq Islam, a student representative, said that the education adviser was supposed to attend the meeting; but he was not present there.
The division鈥檚 secretary was also absent in the meeting, he said.
鈥榃e want immediate solutions for all of our six demands,鈥� he said and vowed to continue the protest.
Mashfiq also said that they would announce their next course of action soon.
Karigori Chhatra Andolan Bangladesh, in a special letter on Thursday, made the announcement that their representatives would hold meeting with the education adviser following the intervention of the chief adviser.
Students of different polytechnic institutes in Dhaka and elsewhere in the country on Wednesday staged demonstrations by blocking roads, highways, and rail tracks to press home their six-point demands, including the cancelation of a High Court verdict allowing the promotion of craft instructors to junior instructors.
The massive blockade at places in the country disrupted communications and commuters had to suffer immensely.
