Teacher posts for Development Assistants

The Education Ministry will appoint the Development Assistants who are now at service at the Divisional Secretariats and the District Secretariats to resolve the teacher shortage at remote government schools, Kurunegala Senior Director of Education W.M.Balasooriya yesterday said at a press briefing in Kurunegala.

These graduates were recruited to the Government Service two years ago and about 12,000 of them will be recruited as teachers within the next two months. Education Minister Dinesh Gunawardena has confirmed this decision and therefore, school heads have been instructed to send their details of teacher requirements early for the Government to finalise the decision in this regard, he said.
