Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Minister, my second supplementary question is this: Among those handling school cadet activities, a significant number are seconded to the National Cadet Corps and the Tri-Forces for active service. Some teachers resign from school service and serve actively. There is a process to release teachers from the Ministry of Education for this purpose. However, many qualified Cadet Officers who have applied to be mobilized into active service are facing difficulties in being released by the Ministry of Education. What measures are being taken to facilitate their release to active service?
