Why this discrimination?

I am a substitute teacher financed by PROMOTE, GoB-EC project. I am working in a rural secondary school in Bogra district. PROMOTE is giving me salary and the MPO teacher is getting a fellowship worth Tk. 2,000 per month.

Now my MPO teacher is coming back to the school and this is my turn to get the Bachelor of Education degree with fellowship. But from this year PROMOTE is not giving the fellowship, as I was told by the PROMOTE office, Rajshahi. Why will I not get the fellowship this year? I could not even get admitted into the course as so many Rajshahi University students have applied and the number of seats is limited.

I would like to draw the attention of our education ministry to this matter, so that I can get the fellowship this year.
