The Hon. Ravindra Bandara
Ravindra Bandara asked the Prime Minister and Minister of Education whether the previous Government’s proposed education reforms would be implemented and whether subjects such as Aesthetics, Information Technology and Accounting would be removed. He sought clarification on planned changes to the national education system, how reforms would reduce pressure on students, and what measures would ensure equitable school resources, reduce competition, and expand university opportunities.
