Education Ministry is expected to annul the concept of National Schools, which generates many issues, and replace it with the concept of leading schools, Education Minister Susil Premajayantha said.
He also stated that he had to make the difficult decision of not admitting children from grades 1 to 13 to any grade-regulatory school without Grade 5 scholarship.
While addressing an event organized on Teachers’ Day at the Ministry, he said admitting children to any grade-regulatory school from 1 to 13 without the grade 5 scholarship will be unfair to students who score higher in the scholarship examination.
He also said if the number of students in a class exceeds 60, and even the teacher cannot be in the class, an accommodation issue would be created in classrooms where teachers would be unable to perform their teaching duties.
