He said President Ranil Wickremesinghe has played a pivotal role in making significant decisions aimed at advancing the educational prospects of the nation’s youth. “President Wickremesinghe consistently emphasises the importance of nurturing the education of the country’s children and advocates for essential reforms in this domain,” he pointed out.
Under the guidance of the Education Minister, a comprehensive educational reform programme has already been set in motion, encompassing updated curricula.
