The Hon. (Dr.) Harini Amarasuriya
Direct absorption into the teachers’ service is not available due to Public Service Commission guidelines and Supreme Court judgments. Litigation-related constraints have been addressed through the Cabinet process, and recruitment will proceed by competitive examination under the Teachers’ Service Minute and PSC recommendations, with the age limit extended to 45 as permitted by the Supreme Court.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Mr. Speaker, there is no provision for direct absorption. We must act according to Public Service Commission guidelines and several Supreme Court judgments. Through the Cabinet process we resolved the litigation constraints this year. Recruitment will proceed via competitive examination as per the Teachers’ Service Minute and PSC recommendations, with the age limit extended up to 45 as permitted by the Supreme Court.
