Teacher-principal unions initiate work-to-rule campaign

Date:

July 21, Colombo (LNW): Teacher and principal trade unions have commenced a two-week ‘work-to-rule’ campaign starting today (22).

The unions have announced that they will abstain from participating in workshops, external professional activities, and training programmes mandated by provincial and zonal education offices from today onwards.

Parakrama Weerasinghe, General Secretary of the National Association of Principals, said over the next fortnight, they will focus solely on classroom teaching, withdrawing from all external activities.

However, Ven. Ulapane Sumangala Thero, Convenor of the National Collective Against Teachers’ and Principals’ Salary Disparities, has expressed that they do not endorse this union action, viewing it as an attempt to bolster political movements.
