¶ 01 Hon. Prime Minister, thank you for a clear and detailed response, and for positive decisions benefitting the Principals’ Service and the education system. My first supplementary is on the pay disparity arising when SLTS officers in Grades II, 2-I, 2-I and I are recruited to SLPS Grade III, creating anomalies between salary scales.
