Education sole pathway to children’s success: President’s Secretary
View(s):President’s Secretary Saman Ekanayake underscored the pivotal role of education in shaping the lives of children, emphasising that it is the sole pathway to their success.
He highlighted that the successful completion of education leads to the formation of informed citizens, directly impacting the overall success of the nation.
Mr Ekanayake made these comments at the inauguration of a fully-equipped library at Konkadawala Vidyalaya, Navagaththegama.
With Chinese financial assistance, two fully-equipped libraries were established at Konkadawala Vidyalaya and Duwa Junior College, Negombo, facilitated by the President’s Office.
Each library, costing Rs 2 million, is stocked with essential books for students from Grade 6-11. The aim of this initiative is to assist rural students facing economic challenges, and foster a knowledgeable generation.
Mr Ekanayake said the idea of providing libraries to these schools stemmed from a conversation with the Chinese Deputy Ambassador to Sri Lanka, who expressed the possibility of supporting a Rs 4 million project.
He selected two schools based on the potential impact these libraries could have on the education of children attending these institutions over the next decade. Mr Ekanayake, drawing from his own experiences of receiving primary education in a similar small school, emphasised the importance of supporting these children’s education to pave the way for their future.
