The Hon. (Dr.) Harini Amarasuriya - Prime Minister and Minister of Education, Higher Education and Vocational Education
The Prime Minister addressed concerns regarding appointments from the 2020/2022 batch, noting that personal circumstances of appointees may have changed over the five-year period. She stated that while school staffing needs must be met, appointees should first accept their current postings and then seek transfers through an agreed process, including mutual transfers across regions. Appeals would be considered on a case-by-case basis after acceptance of postings.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, these appointments are from the 2020/2022 batch. We recognize that circumstances have changed over five years—some are now married and have children. While we must fill school system needs, we are working to improve processes. Our practical proposal now is: accept the current postings first; thereafter, seek transfers through an agreed mechanism, including mutual transfers across regions. We will consider appeals case-by-case, but postings must be first accepted to proceed.
