He further said, "Teachers will reach every corner, from villages to towns, informing people about the party's initiatives."
On educational priorities, Fakhrul pointed to a 31-point agenda for teachers, emphasising the need to raise children to become ideal citizens and to establish a modern education system.
Alleging a plot to manipulate the elections, he warned, "Everyone, including the teaching community, must remain vigilant so that this conspiracy does not succeed."

The rally was presided over by Principal Md Selim Bhuiyan, chairman of the Teachers' and Employees' Unity Alliance. Tarique Rahman attended the event virtually as the chief guest.
