The Hon. Chamara Sampath Dasanayake
Hon. Chamara Sampath Dasanayake urged early public awareness and preparation for the forthcoming Grade 6 education reforms to avoid problems experienced previously, including controversy over the removal of History. He asked whether the reported USD 300 million World Bank funding for reforms had been received, and called for teacher training, textbook printing, and module preparation to be completed by December for implementation in January.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 My second supplementary: In six months Grade 6 begins; please commence public awareness so we do not repeat past failures. There was the “no History subject” issue. It is said the World Bank is giving USD 300 million for reforms. Have we received it? Ensure teacher training, printing, and modular preparation are completed by December so we can start in January without issues.
