The Hon. (Dr.) Madhura Senevirathna
Dr. Madhura Senevirathna stated that the Government has no policy of increasing parallel classes in popular schools and asked for any specific instances to be submitted for review by structural committees. He said the policy focus is to strengthen peripheral secondary schools and improve local schooling rather than expand popular schools or increase class sizes.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Member, we categorically have not increased parallel classes in popular schools as a policy. If there are instances, please submit them; we will examine through structural committees. Our approach is to strengthen secondary schools in the periphery rather than expand parallel classes or increase class sizes. We are taking education to local schools, not expanding popular schools’ parallel streams.
