Sri Lanka’s main Opposition party, the Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) says it has formulated policies and plans to address the issues faced by teachers and principals under a future SJB- government.
Issuing a statement, the SJB urged the teachers and principal trade unions to support its policies devoid of political preferences, in the future.
The SJB further pointed out that it was the responsibility of the government to address the salary anomalies faced by teachers and principals.
Condemning the use of the teacher-principal strike for political advantage, the SJB said the consequence of such actions is the impact and difficulties faced by school children.
The SJB also condemned the government’s use of the Police to suppress the protesters instead of resolving their issues. (Newswire)
