Teachers, principals protest against the 2024 Budget! (PHOTOS)

Date:

Colombo (LNW): A demonstration was staged by the Alliance of Teachers and Principals Unions adjacent to the Parliament Roundabout this afternoon (05), expressing disapproval of the 2024 Budget.

The organised protest serves as a response to the government’s decision to refrain from allocating funds in the budget to address prevailing educational issues, specifically the disparities in teacher and principal salaries.

This advocacy campaign has garnered endorsement from a coalition of educators, including teachers, principals, school counselors, and Piriven Guru.
