Hon. Chamara Sampath Dasanayake
Hon. Chamara Sampath Dasanayake raised concerns about teacher shortages in key subjects at Badulla Central College and other Provincial Schools, noting that temporary teacher attachments within the Province had previously helped address such gaps. He said this practice had been stopped by a circular issued during the previous period and asked that it be reconsidered. He also pointed out that newly qualified teacher training college graduates are awaiting appointments.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Prime Minister, both my children attend Badulla Central College. Some Provincial Schools have skilled teachers in certain subjects, but Badulla Central lacks teachers for some subjects. The Governor and Provincial Education authorities have, as needed, attached teachers for six months or a year to schools like Dharmadutha College and Central College in Badulla. Vihara Mahadevi Girls’ School is also a Provincial School. This arrangement used to function within the Province, but it was stopped by a circular during the previous period, not under you. Hence my question. Also, several batches have recently passed out from teacher training colleges and are waiting for appointments.
