Teachers and principals start ‘work-to-rule’ campaign
The Teacher-Principal Trade Unions have decided to launch a ‘work-to-rule’ campaign for two weeks starting today (22).
The unions announced that they will not participate in workshops, external professional activities, or training programs prescribed by the provincial and zonal education offices during this period.
The National Association of Principals said that over the next two weeks, their members will focus solely on teaching activities in the classrooms and will withdraw from all external activities.
General Secretary of the Ceylon Teachers’ Union (CTU) Joseph Stalin accused the Government of punishing teachers who have resorted to to trade union action over salary anomalies, instead of resolving issues.
He also charged that Provincial Governors are using schools for political activities. “Last week, term tests were not conducted over two days in the Central Province, due to a President’s scholarship programme,” Stalin said, questioning the powers of the Governor to do so.
