Hon. R.M. Samantha Ranasinghe
Hon. R.M. Samantha Ranasinghe noted a mismatch between existing vocational education and labour market demand for trained workers, as well as low awareness among students and parents. He welcomed the recent “Shrama Meheyuma” programme that brought together TVET institutions and asked whether it would continue, requesting that similar programmes be held at least every six months.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Prime Minister, vocational education exists to some extent, while the labour market faces a shortage of trained workers, and awareness among students and parents is low. The recent “Shrama Meheyuma” programme brought together all TVET institutions; I thank you for that. Many people participated. Will such programmes continue? I request that such programmes be conducted at least every six months.
