The Hon. Ruwanthilaka Jayakody
Ruwanthilaka Jayakody asked whether the Government has considered measures to protect children’s right to education amid competition among preschools that has led to costly practices and financial burdens on parents. He noted that such costs can cause some parents to withdraw their children from preschool and sought clarification from the Deputy Minister on the issue.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Minister, my second supplementary question is this.
¶ 02 We know there is competition among preschools to attract children, leading to various practices that impose heavy financial burdens on parents. In some cases, parents even withdraw their children from preschool. Have you focused on protecting the child’s right to education in this situation?
