The Ministry of Education has complained to the Criminal Investigation Department about a racket of collecting money on Facebook by a group of people claiming that it is for the petitions filed in court regarding the shortage of teachers.
Sources in the Ministry of Education state that this conspiracy is being made to find money for the petitions filed before the Supreme Court by the Graduate Development Officers to thwart the measures taken to solve the shortage of graduate teachers in government schools.
Based on the settlement given by the Supreme Court in 2018, the ministry took steps to appoint 4700 principals, but it is reported that this group is working with the aim of collecting money by delaying the appointments by suing again.
