Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, in providing services and resources, we do not differentiate between national and provincial schools. Our objective is not to create more national schools but to distribute resources equitably to all schools based on need—teachers, infrastructure and other resources—regardless of the school’s status. We have no intention or decision to newly designate national schools.
