The Hon. (Dr.) Harini Amarasuriya
A concern is acknowledged regarding the unfair concentration of teachers in Jaffna and the need for balanced teacher distribution. Members are urged not to challenge or appeal transfer and assignment decisions intended to ensure equity, including postings to more remote areas or islets within Jaffna District.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 If so, that can be addressed. The Member is correct that concentrating all teachers in Jaffna is unfair. Many seek to remain in Jaffna or move back there, which has become a practice. We cannot proceed that way; we must ensure teacher balance. We request Members not to challenge or appeal every decision that aims for equitable distribution. Even within Jaffna, assignments slightly farther out or in islets face resistance; we must address this to ensure balance.
