Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Mr. Deputy Speaker, my first supplementary is this. During private tuition classes, there are reports and daily media coverage of significant sexual abuse and other misconduct against children by some tutors. Will there be any regulation regarding this, Hon. Prime Minister?

¶ 02 Also, inquiries into the educational levels of some tuition tutors show they lack proper qualifications. Will the Government take action on this?
