The Ministry of Education has decided to suspend the salaries of teachers who do not adhere to transfer orders.

Though the teachers have been informed on several occasions to follow transfer orders, the ministry has received complaints that they continue to work at the same schools.

However, the principals have requested to retain some teachers in their schools based on service requirements and the ministry said that such teachers will be exempted from this decision.

The Education Ministry further said that a program has been launched to assign teachers from schools with an excess of teachers to schools with a shortage.
