Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, transfers are not done arbitrarily but under procedures. We acknowledge significant teacher shortages in the Northern Province—especially in Kilinochchi, Mannar, Vavuniya and Mullaitivu. Measures are underway: teacher recruitment exams are scheduled for May, and we expect to appoint teachers this year, prioritizing shortage areas. We also aim to place graduate teachers this year, prioritizing the most deficient locations.
