The Hon. Mahinda Jayasinghe - Deputy Minister of Labour
The Deputy Minister said the issue involving principals had been raised several times and that inquiries were already underway. He added that alleged politicization of schools should be examined more broadly, including remarks made by the Leader of the Opposition to Grade 1 students.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Presiding Member, the Member has raised this principals’ issue multiple times — perhaps the third time. As I know, inquiries are underway. Also, your Leader of the Opposition addressed Grade 1 students calling “friends” and so on — those instances too should be examined. Schools have been politicized in many ways.
