The Ceylon Teachers Union has questioned the Secretary of the Ministry of Education of alternative methods taken to accept applications for the 2021 Advanced Level and Grade 5 Scholarship Examinations.
The Secretary of the Ministry had made a statement that the acceptance of applications was affected owing to the ongoing teacher principal trade union actions.
Stalin questioned whether the proposed alternative methods are threats as applications can only be submitted by principals.
Chief Secretary of the Union Joseph Stalin speaking to media said the standoff between the government and trade unions can only be solved through discussions and called for their demands to be addressed before the reopening of schools.
