The Hon. (Mrs.) Rohini Kumari Wijerathna
Hon. Rohini Kumari Wijerathna asked when the Government would gazette and complete formal appointments of Principals, noting that delays were affecting school management and that about 500 interview-qualified candidates from a pre-2020 examination remained unappointed as teachers. She also questioned when vacancies would be filled and whether pay disparities between officers of the Educational Administrative Service and teachers would be rectified.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 At least indicate whether you will gazette by a certain time? Also, due to delays in formal placements of Principals, school management suffers. Further, around 500 candidates who passed interviews based on a pre-2020 exam are yet to be appointed and are still serving as teachers. When will you fill these vacancies? My second question: there are significant pay disparities between officers of the Educational Administrative Service and teachers. Will you rectify them?
