The Hon. B. Ariyawansha
Hon. B. Ariyawansha raised concerns about disparities between well-equipped national schools in urban areas and under-resourced rural national schools, citing Kolonna National School and Embilipitiya National School as examples. He asked how the Government intends to urgently address facility deficiencies in rural national schools to meet parents’ demand for quality education.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 My first supplementary:
¶ 02 Near Ratnapura city, national schools like Gidellana Central College and Ferguson High School are well-developed. Colombo has fully facilitated national schools, but many rural national schools lack facilities—e.g., Kolonna National School and Embilipitiya National School. Parents want quality education. How will the Government urgently address deficiencies in rural national schools?
