After 2028, no one will be given teacher appointments except for Bachelor of Education graduates from the National University of Education, Education Minister Susil Premajayantha said.

Addressing a committee meeting at the Ministry, he said that one national university, which combines all 19 faculties of education, will produce graduates in four years.

"Advanced Level (A/L) Z-score recruits undergraduate candidates based on subject-wise vacancies from the first round. After three years of study, in the last year, practical training on teaching will be given, and a high-quality teacher will be sent to the classroom," the minister said.

The purpose of this meeting was to get support from the provincial level for the implementation of future education development programs planned at the national level and to raise education at the provincial level.
