Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL), Chittagong City unit, yesterday submitted a memorandum to the chairman of Chittagong Education Board to press their 10-point demand, including cancellation of a decision for enrolling students in colleges on age basis.

Their other demands include reduction of admission fees and prices of educational materials, removal of discrimination between the government colleges and non-government colleges and solution to ongoing teachers crisis in colleges.

During submission of the memorandum, Chairman of the Board Professor AJM Shahidullah said we are not able to take initiatives to meet all the demands due to lack of budget.

Earlier, a rally was held in front of the board office at noon with BCL President MR Azim in the chair.

Addressing the rally, the speakers threatened to launch a tougher movement if their demands are not fulfilled immediately.

BCL General Secretary Mohammad Salauddin, Abul Hossain Abu and SM Alam were also present.
