The Hon. (Dr.) Harini Amarasuriya
Hon. (Dr.) Harini Amarasuriya responded that concerns raised about the history curriculum would be conveyed to the relevant course team and considered by education experts responsible for curriculum development and module review. She stated that history is presented as Sri Lankan history encompassing all communities, rather than as separate Sinhala, Tamil or Muslim histories.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Sir, we will take the comments made by the Hon. Member into consideration. As you know, it is education experts who develop the curriculum and review the modules. We will convey your concerns to that course team, Hon. Member. Of course, when we present history, we present it as Sri Lankan history and look at the different periods in that context. All of what the Hon. Member said, we will take into consideration. But, we do not present it as Sinhala, Tamil or Muslim history but as Sri Lankan history, which includes all of these elements.
¶ 02 Thank you, Sir.
