The present dress code for school teachers will not be changed under any circumstances, Education Minister Susil Premajayantha announced on Friday (04).
Speaking at an event at a school in Kotahena today, the minister said that the dress code for male and female teachers and the uniforms of children will not be changed even if requests are made by certain parties.
The Minister said this was due to the responsibility to protect the culture of the country.
His comments come after Ceylon Teachers’ Union General Secretary Joseph Stalin had proposed to allow school teachers to be clad conveniently when attending duty instead of sticking to traditional saree only. (NewsWire)
