Education Minister pledges swift resolution to teacher-principal salary disputes

Date:

July 23, Colombo (LNW): Education Minister Susil Premajayantha has committed to resolving the grievances of teacher-principal trade unions within this week.

Several trade unions have initiated a two-week work-to-rule campaign starting yesterday (22), protesting the government’s delay in addressing salary discrepancies.

Teachers and principals have declared they will only perform their regular academic duties during this period.

Ven. Ulapane Sumangala Thero, Convenor of the National Collective Against Teachers’ & Principals’ Salary Disparities, expressed opposition to union actions aimed at political agendas.

Minister Premajayantha assured that academic activities in schools would remain unaffected by the trade union action.
