450 voluntary teachers in Vanni struggle for permanent appointment

[TamilNet, Monday, 12 July 2010, 10:11 GMT]
Four hundred and fifty volunteer teachers serving in schools in the districts of Ki'linochchi and Mullaiththeevu are still awaiting permanency in their posts even after ten years of service under trying condition, education sources said.

Twenty six diploma holders in marine studies have also been waiting for permanent appointment since the year 2003.

However, those who obtained the same Diploma recently have been made permanent due to the intervention of a Tamil political party which is supportive of the ruling United Peoples Freedom Alliance (UPFA) government.
