Hon. (Dr.) Harini Amarasuriya - Prime Minister and Minister of Education, Higher Education and Vocational Education
Teacher vacancies in National Schools could not be filled for some time due to a pending court case, and Provincial-to-National School attachments were used as an interim measure. The issue has now been resolved, and the Government plans to fill most subject-specific shortages this year, including by appointing graduates passing out from colleges of education.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Member, as you know, we could not fill teacher vacancies in National Schools for some time due to a pending court case. We have now resolved that issue. In the interim, attachments from Provincial to National Schools were used. We are now working to fill the vacancies this year. The shortages are subject-specific. We expect to fill most of them this year, and to give appointments to those passing out from the colleges of education.
