Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Speaker, thank you for the question. We have held several rounds of discussions and understand the issue. There is a group of Development Officers engaged in teaching. A Cabinet Sub-Committee has been appointed to address this matter and to determine how to absorb them into the Teachers’ Service. Within two to three weeks, we expect to inform the House of concrete measures. Not only Development Officers, there are diploma-holders and unemployed graduates as well. The Cabinet Sub-Committee will address all of them. We are giving this special attention and hope to provide a fair and prompt solution through the Committee’s decisions.
