Teacher postings for O/L qualified!

A teacher trade union opposes a move to recruit those who have passed the GCE ordinary level examination in six subjects only as physical training instructors for schools.

Ceylon Teachers Union secretary Joseph Stalin says this demeans
the teaching profession, as there are more than 30,000 graduates without jobs.

Six passes at the O/L exam and a third place in a sports event are enough qualifications in the recruitment of 3,388 as PTIs.

They will be recruited at a salary of Rs. 27,000, which is on par with a technical posting in the management service.

The CTU charges that nearly 1,000 of these jobs will go to Kurunegala district, which is the seat of education minister Akila Viraj Kariyawasam.
