Teachers protest demanding better funding for schools

Teachers across the North-East protested on Wednesday demanding better provisions for education.

Mirroring a campaign which took place across the island calling for the Sri Lankan government to allocate more funding for schools, teachers and school staff protested outside their schools on Wednesday morning.

The protests called for resolutions to ongoing disputes over teacher pay and to fill the gap in funding for schools.

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.

Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
