Deputy Minister of Labour Mahinda Jayasinghe has objected to the recent circular prohibiting school teachers in the Western Province from conducting paid tuition classes for students from their own schools.
This ban applies during school hours, after school, and on weekends or public holidays.
Minister Jayasinghe said that the Governor has instructed the circular to be suspended, pending a review of the issue and a policy decision on the matter.
The circular, signed by the Western Province Secretary of Education, K.A.D.R. Nishanthi Jayasinghe, has been sent to the Director of Education, Regional Directors, Divisional Directors of Education, and all school principals in the province.
It instructed all teachers be informed of the regulations and warns that disciplinary action will be taken against those who violate them. (Islandnews)
