Dec 08, 2015

Southern Provincial Council JVP member Jinadasa Kithulgoda has presented a proposal to the southern provincial council to provide plots of lands to the teachers who has come from North, East and other provinces to the southern province to teach Tamil language to the schools in the southern districts. The MP stressed that the southern provincial council should provide lands for these teachers and make them permanent in the southern province.

The minister said the teachers attached in other provinces should be permanently kept in the southern province as a permanent solution to the lack of teachers to the Tamil language in the southern province. Therefore we should give permanent lands to them and keep them in the southern province. He said this would be a permanent solution for the lack of Tamil teachers in the southern province.

The MP produced a letter to the provincial council signed by 50 Tamil teachers stating their willingness to permanently serve in the southern province. They said although they came to teach temporarily due to the hospitality of the southern people they would like to serve permanently in the southern province and request the authorities to provide them with permanent residencies.

 

The MP said this would not only serve the lack of teacher’s problem but a positive step towards national reconciliation.
