Across the country, due to teacher principal salary anomalies
In the series of protests being held, two more protests were held in Embilipitiya and Kalawana today. These agitations have been going on since 1997 demanding that these salary anomalies be rectified. However, Minister of State Channa Jayasumana says that these protests will increase the spread of Covid and that a new wave of Covid called ‘Covid Guru Pokura’ is likely to be created. Meanwhile, teachers participating in the protests say this will continue until a permanent solution is found. Meanwhile, a cabinet paper is to be presented today to revise the salaries. Minister Bandula Gunawardena also stated that taxes should be increased to rectify this disparity. Meanwhile, the school teachers who conduct private tuition classes continue to teach and obtain money for this purpose using various methods.
