Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Mr. Speaker, we have had extensive discussions with principals and their associations on salary anomalies and are working towards a sustainable solution. It is Government policy to appoint a Salaries Commission this year, through which we intend to resolve these issues comprehensively, since anomalies exist not only in the education sector. We will make representations to the Commission specifically on principals’ concerns.
