The Hon. (Dr.) Harini Amarasuriya
The Minister stated that there is no current plan to return the schools in question to Provincial administration. She said many schools had been designated as National Schools without a corresponding development programme, and that the Government has identified them and is using budgetary allocations to upgrade them to the required standards.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Mr. Speaker, there is no present intention to revert those schools to the Provinces. As you said, while many were named National Schools, no programme existed to develop them to National School standards. We have identified those schools and are intervening to bring them to the required standard, with budgetary allocations, and are proceeding accordingly.
