Cabinet Greenlights Digital Education Overhaul with Chinese Support

Date:

May 08, Colombo (LNW): The Education Minister, Susil Premajayantha, secured Cabinet approval for a groundbreaking proposal aiming at digitizing general education, with crucial backing from the Chinese government, as announced by the Government Information Department in a statement issued yesterday.

According to the department, the Chinese government has committed to funding the project, pending a comprehensive feasibility study. This initiative is poised to address various challenges, notably the scarcity of teachers and educational resources. As part of the project, China will contribute resources such as classrooms, data centers, tables, a studio, and a conference room.

These resources will not only bolster educational reforms but also enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of the blended learning approach, facilitating resource sharing and enabling teachers with specialized skills to impart knowledge to students.
