Jun 13, Colombo: Sri Lanka Federation of University Teachers Association (FUTA) yesterday informed the Minister of Higher Education S.B. Dissanayaka in writing that they will launch a continuous strike from July 04.
A copy of the letter has been forwarded to the Presidential Secretariat as well, the Chairman of the FUTA, Dr. Nirmal Ranjith Dewasiri said.
The FUTA demands granting the salary increase promised by the government in 2008, increasing allocations for education up to 6% of GDP, freeing universities from politicization and granting facilities to admit children of the university teachers to the schools.
FUTA points out in its letter that the decision to strike is taken due to government's failure to grant any solutions even after launching a token strike.
