Discussions unsuccessful, will continue strike: Ceylon Teachers' Union

20 Jul 2021

The discussion held between the Minister of Education Prof. GL Peiris and the teachers' unions this morning (20) ended without an agreement, said the General Secretary of the Ceylon Teachers' Union, Mahinda Jayasinghe.

Accordingly, the online strike will continue, he added. The teachers' union has been on strike since the 12th, withdrawing from online teaching, over a number of demands, including the elimination of pay inequality. The strike is still going on and the children have been severely inconvenienced as a result. Meanwhile, teachers' unions staged protests in Elpitiya, Galle and Matale this afternoon over demands including pay inequality.
