The Union's secretary Mahinda Jayasinghe said that a letter had been sent to the Commissioner of Exams reminding him of the fees payable to the teachers. He added that teachers who are yet to receive this payment have been inconvenienced as a result of the three-month delay in payment.

He added that the payment of fees payable to these teachers will be completed by the 30th of this month.
