Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Minister, if we popularize the loan scheme, that problem won’t arise. I’m saying you need not insist on state only. If 173,000 pass A/Ls, all 173,000 have the human right to enter university. Why not grant that opportunity? Don’t hold it solely to the state; the private sector is doing well too. That’s my point.
