COLOMBO: Education Minister Susil Premajayantha said it is
high time teachers change their attitude on serving in difficult areas
for the benefit of students.
“When a teacher is transferred to a remote area, he or she only
thinks about their fundamental rights forgetting the fundamental rights
of students.
Addressing a seminar of the German Technical Cooperation (GTZ)
projects conducted with the assistance of the National Educational
Research and Evaluation Centre (NEREC) and Faculty of Education,
University of Colombo at the Ministry of Education on Tuesday 15,
Minister Premajayantha said 42 schools in the Wilgamuwa Education Zone
have no English teachers while the neighbouring Kandy Educational Zone
is overstaffed. |
