Colombo, July 16 (Daily Mirror) - Providing at least 500 smart classes for schoolchildren by Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) leader Sajith Premadasa will not solve the issues in education, Cabinet spokesman and Minister Bandula Gunawardana said.

Addressing the media at the weekly meeting to announce Cabinet decisions, Minister Bandula Gunawardana said that the Opposition Leader is engaging in business projects.

He also said that no decision will be made to remove aesthetic subjects from the school syllabus. He highlighted that 1,000 Mahindodaya Technical Laboratories were established in schools and that aesthetic and arts teachers were trained to use technology to enhance their knowledge.

"We told the Opposition Leader that he cannot even compare what we have accomplished in schools. We did not implement business projects within the school education system. Aesthetic subjects will continue to thrive in the future," Minister Gunawardana said.

Whoever who provides facilities to schools should be appreciated. This former tuition master thrived due to low quality teaching in schools, he is afraid that if smart classes enable mass teaching by good teachers, the market for tuition masters will decline. Dhammika Perera provides the content for these smart class rooms which basically consist of a Smart TV only. If not for DP Education contents the children can only watch TV.

Today, because of you a small family can survive with Rs.2 500/- for a month and then from this amount remains savings too. I think Bandu Aiya was referring to USD.2,500/-

There is no need for schools. We all need to study our ancient Buddhist scriptures only in our temples and monasteries. Everything past, present and future, medicine, science and innovation is recorded in these scriptures and this study will further enhance our foremost advanced status among countries and keep us as the most advanced country for all time

The only way to solve problems in our education system is to make the teachers teach in the classroom.
