Sri Lanka to Recruit Over 23,000 Graduates for National Teaching Service

Harini Amarasuriya, who serves as Prime Minister and Minister of Education, Higher Education and Vocational Education, announced plans to recruit more than 23,000 graduates into the national teaching service in Sri Lanka. This initiative represents one of the largest expansions of the national teaching service in recent memory, aiming to address longstanding shortages of qualified teaching personnel.

The recruitment drive is expected to provide a major employment boost for university graduates who have faced difficulties securing stable positions. By channeling qualified graduates into the teaching profession, the government aims to simultaneously tackle graduate unemployment and teacher shortages across Sri Lanka.
