Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, under DMS guidelines, a class-based requirement mismatches the salary grade. If recruitment is based on class, salary placement should vary accordingly. Discussions are ongoing. There is no bar to recruiting those with a class, but if made a condition, salary placement must align. We have made recommendations per DMS guidance; no final decision yet. Teaching experience has not been removed; it remains. We fully agree quality must be maintained. We are bound by DMS guidance; approval is pending.
