M.S. Uthumalebbe asked the Deputy Minister whether the Ministry would absorb and regularize more than 4,000 teachers currently serving temporarily as In-Service Advisers. He noted that the ISA Service Minute, gazetted in 2020 and later amended, provides for recruitment through a written examination but that the Government had previously absorbed temporary ISAs in 2020 to recognize their service and avoid adverse effects.

Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, my first supplementary to the Hon. Deputy Minister: The ISA Service Minute was gazetted on 01.07.2020, amended on 04.09.2022 and 18.09.2025. Though recruitment is to be through a written exam (SLTAS), in 2020 the Government absorbed those already serving temporarily as ISAs, recognizing their past service and removing adverse effects. Will the Ministry similarly absorb and regularize the over 4,000 teachers now serving temporarily as ISAs to prevent them from being disadvantaged?
