The Hon. Rohitha Abeygunawardhana
Rohitha Abeygunawardhana asked the Prime Minister to clarify the status of schools selected under the previous Government’s programme to create 1,000 National Schools. He said many selected schools, including popular Provincial schools in the Western Province, are now in an uncertain administrative position and sought a clear answer on whether all 1,000 would be confirmed as National Schools or only the 23 referred to by the Prime Minister.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Prime Minister, you accept that the previous Government implemented a programme regarding National Schools. Many selected were already popular Provincial schools, especially in the Western Province. Now they are in limbo—neither National nor Provincial. Tell us unequivocally: will all 1,000 be confirmed as National Schools, or only the 23 you mentioned?
