Necessary steps will be taken to resolve the trade union action initiated by the teachers through discussions, new Education Minister Dinesh Gunawardena said.
He said this after meeting with Ven. Elle Gunawansa Thera yesterday.
The Minister said that he accepted the ministerial post of his own and free will to serve the nation.
"We engage in politics dedicated to the course of action for the nation through sacrifice. It is not a commitment to the position but a commitment to the work that can be done for the people of the country, he said.
Speaking to the media, he said the government is procrasting the teacher-principal salary anomalies issue. (Daily Mirror)
