View(s):The government plans to fill at least 13,000 teacher vacancies this year.
The majority of the vacancies are in the GCE (A/L) classes.
2,000 vacancies are in national schools.
Graduates will be given priority in recruiting.
Some of the vacancies were created with the promotion of 4,700 teachers as principals.
The government plans to recruit around 1,000 teachers for vacancies in Information Community Technology (ICT).
The recruitment of development officers as teachers, and another plan to fill vacancies in the estate sector, are held up due to pending court cases.
Deputy Minister of Education Dr Madhura Seneviratne said the recruitment will be conducted strictly according to requirements.
He said the same policy will be followed for the provincial councils.
The total number of teacher vacancies is reported to be around 30,000, but only the required numbers would be recruited.
Discussions were underway with the Finance Ministry for the allocations. (DWI)
