Minister of Education Susil Premjayant says that the circular issued by the Ministry of Public Administration, giving permission to government employees to report to work in a casual dresscode, does not apply to teachers.
Accordingly, the Minister stated that the Secretary of the Ministry of Public Administration was instructed to amend the said circular.
The minister said this in response to a question raised in Parliament yesterday (22) about the fact that in the last few days, teachers in many parts of the island have come to school wearing other suitable clothes instead of saris or osari.
