¶ 01 Please allow me one last point. Our policy clearly states vocational subjects will be introduced. Onward learning pathways will allow O/L students to select construction and infrastructure, creative industries, primary industries, manufacturing and technology — technology-rich capabilities for good students — making Sri Lanka developed. These reforms are essential. I conclude. Thank you.
