Prime Minister Dr. Harini Amarasuriya has emphasized that education should be accessible to all children as a fundamental right rather than a privilege, speaking at a scholarship ceremony aimed at keeping students in school.
Prime Minister Dr. Harini Amarasuriya has reiterated the government's commitment to ensuring education remains universally accessible, characterizing it as a fundamental right belonging to every child rather than an exclusive privilege.
The Prime Minister made these comments while participating in the Nana Isura scholarship award ceremony held on Tuesday, which honors the memory of the late Ven. Galboda Siri Gnanissara Thero. The programme represents a broader governmental initiative designed to address barriers that force children to abandon their schooling.
According to Amarasuriya, the Nana Isura scholarship initiative will reinforce ongoing efforts to eliminate the socioeconomic circumstances that prevent students from continuing their education. The remarks underscore the administration's stated priority of expanding educational access across the country.
