30 Sep 2021

As the world celebrates International Children's Day tomorrow, State Minister of Women and Child Development, Preschool and Primary Education, School Infrastructure and Education Services Piyal Nishantha De Silva released a speech addressed to the children of Sri Lanka today (30). In his speech themed "Children Before Everything", De Silva stated that the prime objective of the Ministry is to dedicate all 365 days for children without limiting World Children’s Day just to a single day. He also noted that the Ministry will conduct a number of programmes throughout the month of October to mark this year’s Children’s Day, further giving children the chance to participate in the media, and improve their creativity. A pledge to donate school supplies to children in disadvantaged areas to ensure equality in education has also been planned. De Silva further empathised with the children who are now limited to staying indoors due to the pandemic, further mentioning that the Ministry and its affiliated institutions are conducting various programmes from national to village level in new approaches to mitigate this unpleasant situation children are experiencing at present.
