The Hon. Mahinda Jayasinghe – Deputy Minister
Mahinda Jayasinghe corrected a statement made by Kabir Hashim regarding his intervention in a Western Provincial Council education matter. He said the Provincial Education Secretary had issued a letter barring teachers from conducting tuition classes for their own students, but he intervened because no law prohibits such tutoring and requested that the letter be withdrawn.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Presiding Member, Hon. Kabir Hashim mentioned my name and made an incorrect statement. I need a brief moment to correct it. The Secretary of Education of the Western Provincial Council issued a letter last year informing teachers not to conduct tuition classes for their own students. I intervened because there is no law in the country prohibiting teachers from tutoring their own class students. Many provinces focused on this in error. I asked that the letter be withdrawn. The Hon. Member’s statement was incorrect; I wished to correct the record.
¶ 02 Thank you.
