Minister of Education, Susil Premajayantha, has unveiled a plan to elevate the qualifications of all teachers in the island to a graduate level by the year 2027.
This initiative is part of a strategy aimed at enhancing Sri Lanka's education system to meet international standards within the same timeframe.
Among the key actions to achieve this goal is the consolidation of teacher training colleges into a single education university, with a particular focus on vocational training and higher education programs.
Minister Premajayantha highlighted that this effort is driven by the objective of equipping Sri Lankan students with the skills and knowledge required for success in the global economy.
