The Hon. (Dr.) Harini Amarasuriya
Hon. (Dr.) Harini Amarasuriya stated that Sinhala-medium courses at Vavuniya College had been stopped after 2016 due to rationalization and teacher shortages in the war context. She said the Government has intervened and plans to reintroduce Sinhala-medium courses from the next intake, beginning where possible with primary teacher training.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, to my knowledge, after 2016, Sinhala-medium courses in the Vavuniya College were stopped, citing rationalization during the war context and difficulties in providing teachers. However, we have intervened, and from the next intake we plan to reintroduce Sinhala-medium courses at that College. Even if we cannot start all courses at once, we are planning to commence teacher training particularly for the primary segment.
