The Cabinet sub-committee appointed to recommend solutions for disparities in the salaries of teachers and principals has presented its report to the Ministry of Finance.
A discussion between Finance Minister Basil Rajapaksa and the members of the Cabinet sub-committee was held on Friday (August 20). The report will be presented to the Cabinet of Ministers after it is studied by Finance Ministry officials.
Following the meeting, Cabinet sub-committee member Minister Mahinda Amaraweera said the report had proposed numerous solutions to resolve the teacher-principal salary issue. Earlier this month, a four-member committee was appointed by the Cabinet of Ministers to look into the disparities in the teachers’ and principals’ salaries. It consists of Ministers Wimal Weerawansa, Prasanna Ranatunga, Mahinda Amaraweera and Dullas Alahapperuma.
