Education Minister Susil Premajayantha said that a national-level university will be established to produce teachers.

The Minister revealed this during a discussion with the ministry officials at the Ministry.

"We had many requests to bring colleges to the university level and preliminary discussion regarding the issue has been completed," he said.

"It has been advised to draft that information along with the Cabinet Memorandum. We are creating national-level universities for the teaching profession. When it is established, we will have to increase the number according to the type of subject," he said.

We provide three years of theoretical study training and one year of teacher training. Within four years, qualified teachers will walk into the classrooms. So don't think of those misconceptions. "We are working very hard to build this teacher's university while adding the teacher education service also to it," the Minister said. (Chaturanga Samarawickrama)
