The Hon. (Dr.) Harini Amarasuriya
(Dr.) Harini Amarasuriya stated that recruitment rules differ across public services and, in the case of teachers, are governed by the relevant Service Minute. She said the Government cannot provide a blanket position on recruitment procedures, but noted that due to long-standing issues and court cases concerning Development Officer and teacher recruitment, a proposal has been submitted to the courts to permit recruitment without an age limit.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, recruitment procedures vary from service to service. If the Hon. Member refers to teacher recruitment, a specific Service Minute applies and recruitment follows that. As procedures differ by service, I cannot give a blanket answer. However, due to long-standing issues and multiple cases related to Development Officer and teacher recruitments, our government has submitted to the Hon. Courts a proposal to allow recruitment without an age limit. I cannot give a general answer as recruitment varies across services.
