SP Governor assures new provincial teacher transfer policy

A precise methodology including fresh guidelines and procedures regarding the Secondment Scheme for teacher transfers in the province will be formulated and implemented shortly, Southern Province Governor Dr.Willie Gamage said.

“Some teachers who get transfers to schools in cities or to schools close to their residencies stay for long in the same institutions by extending the period of six months on various reasons.

It has been observed that some teachers have misused the privileges offered under the secondment scheme. Owing to the erroneous exercise of the scheme a number of academic and administrative issues which are badly detrimental to the school children and the school system as well have been created,” the Governor indicated.Many teachers who have got transfers on secondment are trying to extend the secondment period by showing diverse false and fabricated explanations.
