Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Without enhancing special non-recurring allowances, how will you retain university staff?

¶ 02 Finally, to the Minister of Education personally: as a teacher you would not disclose or disparage a student’s qualifications; similarly, respect must be shown to all learners. In my view, you have fallen short. Nevertheless, I conclude by urging the Government to appoint a suitable person as Minister of Education and take our education system forward. Thank you.
