Only graduates from National University of Education will be recruited as teachers from 2028: Minister
After 2028, no one will be given teacher appointments except for Bachelor of Education graduates from the National University of Education, Education Minister Susil Premajayantha said.
Addressing a committee meeting at the Ministry, he said that one national university, which combines all 19 faculties of education, will produce graduates in four years.
"Advanced Level (A/L) Z-score recruits undergraduate candidates based on subject-wise vacancies from the first round. After three years of study, in the last year, practical training on teaching will be given, and a high-quality teacher will be sent to the classroom," the minister said.
The purpose of this meeting was to get support from the provincial level for the implementation of future education development programs planned at the national level and to raise education at the provincial level.
He said that the responsibility of implementing national policies is assigned to the Education Ministry, and it is the duty and responsibility of the provincial education authorities to implement those national policies at the provincial level. These activities should be done with a good link between the national and provincial levels.
Although only a few schools in the country have shown positive results, we cannot be satisfied as a country, and the main objective of the Ministry is to provide equal opportunities in education to every child by improving the entire school system of the country by providing the necessary human and physical resources, including suitable teachers, the Ministry said.
