Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Thank you for the suggestions. There is no need for problems; everything is proceeding properly under a National Operations Committee that includes union representatives. Any obstruction would be from those opposed to reforms for political reasons, not due to internal process issues. We plan to commence Grade 6 in January, and we will run awareness programmes for teachers, parents, and students by July–August. Regarding support for these reforms, World Bank assistance has been received.
