Unemployed Graduates protest
The Joint Association of Unemployed Graduates held a protest yesterday demanding the government to recruit graduates of the 2010/11 batches as development officers.
Convener of the Unon,Dhammika Munasinge said that the Ministry of Public Administration has decided not to recruit graduates who completed their degrees in 2010/11. He said there are lots of recently passed out graduates currently undergoing training at the divisional secretariats and they also won’t be recruited permanently due to this decision.
We will continue our struggle until all the graduates are properly recruited to the state sector,Munasinghe added.
Around 30,000 graduates are currently undergoing training at divisional secretariats and government said they will be permanently recruited to the state sector soon.
