Programs proposed by various organizations and groups that do not have government approval should not, under any circumstances, be allowed to operate within schools,” Prime Minister and Minister of Education Harini Amarasuriya said. She made the remarks while participating in a discussion with North Central Province education authorities at the Provincial Council premises in Anuradhapura on Wednesday (17). “As a government, we are making a very large commitment to provide children with quality education. Therefore, decisions must be made based on the belief that children should be given the best,” PM Amarasuriya stated. During the meeting with the North Central Province education authorities, wide discussions were held on education development programs in the province. Measures taken to achieve targets of the Grade 5 scholarship, Ordinary Level and Advanced Level examinations, school development projects, subject‑related programs implemented at zonal level, and the development of schools damaged by Cyclone Ditwah were also reviewed. PM Amarasuriya also focused on the academic, welfare, and administrative issues presented by provincial education officials. She added that the quality of education is determined not only by examination results but also by attention to subject‑related activities. (Newswire)
