There are 65 thousand 59 headmaster posts and around 50 thousand people are serving the posts. The court ordered to implement the direction from March 9, 2014 for the trained and untrained headmasters.

After declaring the verdict lawyer Salauddin Dolon said, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina elevated the job of headmasters to second class on March 9, 2014 and the Primary and Mass Education Ministry issued a gazette notification on the same day over it.

But the ministry fixed the salary for headmasters under 11^th grade (trained) and 12^th grade (untrained). But the second class officers in other ministries and departments are being paid salaries under 10^th grade. Challenging the legality of this decision 45 people including headmaster of Gandaria Mahila Samity Government Primary School and president of Bangladesh Government Primary School Headmasters Association Riaz Parvez filed the writ petition with High Court.

After the hearing the High court issued rule on March 5 last year. After final hearing of that rule the High Court delivered the verdict on Monday.
