The Hon. Sajith Premadasa - Leader of the Opposition

Sajith Premadasa criticized the education reform process, saying the error of embedding a website into a module could have been avoided through a formal Green Paper/White Paper process and public consultation rather than a limited presentation-based approach. He called for comprehensive, globally aligned reforms developed through structured dialogue with experts and stakeholders, while retaining compulsory History and preventing links to inappropriate websites. He asked the Prime Minister whether the Government would reorient the reform process through a formal White Paper and consultation mechanism.
