The Hon. (Dr.) Madhura Senevirathna - Deputy Minister of Education and Higher Education
As part of education reforms, the Deputy Minister said a scientific, needs-based categorization of schools is being developed to ensure students have access to a well-equipped nearby school, generally within a 3 km radius, while accounting for geography and equity. He stated that a pilot profiling exercise covering 98 schools with fewer than 50 students across all nine provinces is in progress and that data compilation is continuing, with implementation expected to begin next year.
