Student-centric approach to be followed for teacher placements

 

Teachers will be appointed to schools in proportion to the requirements of each school, as opposed to being issued transfers, Education Minister Dr.Susil Premayajayantha stated.

He explained that it would be detrimental for students if teachers were to be transferred similar to the ways in which other public servants are often transferred, as this creates an issue with covering syllabuses.

Thus, the Minister suggested that teachers be placed in schools using a student-centric approach.
