The Hon. (Dr.) Harini Amarasuriya
Hon. (Dr.) Harini Amarasuriya stated that addressing teacher shortages requires both long-term recruitment and training, noting that producing a qualified teacher takes three to four years. She said online and blended learning could be used as an interim measure while sufficient teachers are trained and deployed.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, that is necessary, but as you know, to produce a teacher takes at least 3 to 4 years. Using technology via online/blended learning, we can mitigate shortages in the interim, until we train and deploy sufficient teachers. We cannot make a teacher in six months; thus we are considering interim modalities while long-term recruitment and training proceed.
