Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Presiding Member, this is a timely Motion with bipartisan support. The Government’s policy will be conveyed by the subject Minister or Deputy Minister; meanwhile, I note that we have discussed, in advisory fora, the insufficiency of current legal content. The Government’s position is that citizens need practical legal knowledge—civil and everyday law—and Law should be included in the curriculum. The degree, scope, and placement within grades are being finalized.
