Equality of educational opportunities for all children in the nation is the ministry’s goal, according to Minister Premajayantha.

He said he intends to visit all provinces in the coming weeks and inform all education authorities.
The minister made these remarks at a ceremony at Jaffna Hindu College on Monday (5) when it received Smart Boards.
