Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, I thank the Hon. Leader of the Opposition for these proposals. We will refer them to the relevant authorities and intervene where possible. As I clarified, over 12,000 graduates have already been recruited. With the conclusion of the litigation on teacher appointments — the Court of Appeal has formally notified us — the recruitment process will commence immediately. That will enable us to reach the numbers indicated. What we stated in the Policy Statement about graduates will proceed accordingly. Thank you for the proposals.
¶ 02 Question put, and agreed to.
