The Chief Prelates of the Amarapura and the Ramanna Buddhist Sects stressed the importance of providing greater opportunities to teach second languages in schools through the new educational reforms.

They have emphasised to the Prime Minister and Minister of Education, Higher Education and Vocational Education Dr. Harini Amarasuriya that contributing to the new education reforms is not merely a change confined to the education sector, but one that can bring about a constructive transformation for the entire nation, making it a national responsibility of the Buddhist clergy.

A special discussion to brief the Chief Prelates of the Amarapura and Ramanna Sects about the new education reforms was held at the headquarters of the Ramanna Sect, with the participation of the Premier. The discussion further highlighted the specific responsibilities carried out by the Ministry of Education, the National Institute of Education, the National Education Commission, the Department of Educational Publications, and the Department of Examinations, and emphasised the need for close and effective collaboration among these institutions in the implementation of the reforms.

The clergy also shared their views regarding necessary changes in Pirivena education, Dhamma school education, and the preschool education system.
