However, the Ceylon Teachers Union (CTU) President Priyantha Fernando told The Morning that teachers participate in examination duties only as an additional duty. “Teachers who participate in examination duties get very little pay. We are also not duty-bound to engage in examination duties,” he claimed. “The written tests for the O/L Examination ended in March this year. If the Examinations Department and the Education Ministry really wanted to conduct the practical examinations and release the O/L results soon, they should have held the practical examinations within those three months,” he added.

However, Fernando explained that out of nearly 240,000 teachers across the country, about 230,000 are currently supporting the ongoing trade union actions. “Teachers in private schools are not involved in the trade union actions. Usually, in every sector, there are some individuals who do not support trade union actions. Similarly, when considering our trade union actions, there are about 5% who continue to teach without supporting it. If the teachers in the Northern Province are teaching, we thank them for that.”Nearly 30 teachers and principals trade unions had decided to withdraw from all teaching activities from 12 July in protest over the lack of a solution to the teacher-principal salary anomaly issue.
