The Hon. Darmapriya Wijesinghe

Darmapriya Wijesinghe asked the Prime Minister for details on National Colleges of Education as a pathway for teacher recruitment, including the number of colleges, their names, and the courses offered. He also sought clarification on the G.C.E. (A/L) year used for the most recent intake, whether recruitment based on the 2023 A/L results has been delayed, and, if so, when it will take place.
