The Government will not allow a legal system that serves only the powerful, nor will it tolerate individuals taking the law into their own hands, Prime Minister Dr. Harini Amarasuriya declared while addressing a public gathering in Mullaitivu.
Emphasizing the importance of justice and equality, the Prime Minister reaffirmed the Government’s commitment to upholding the rule of law and ensuring that all citizens are treated fairly.
Transforming Education for a Brighter Future
Dr. Amarasuriya also outlined the Government’s ambitious plans for education reform, set to begin next year. These initiatives include modernized learning methods for children and comprehensive training for teachers to create an engaging and effective learning environment.
“The current Government firmly believes that educational reform is fundamental to national progress. Sustainable change can only be achieved through the collaborative efforts of the Government and citizens,” she stated.
She further assured that a new national curriculum will be introduced in 2026 to prepare students with a clear and well-structured future pathway. As part of efforts to support underprivileged students, the Government has provided Rs. 6,000 vouchers to children from economically disadvantaged families and those in schools with fewer than 300 students, enabling them to purchase essential school supplies.
A United and Equal Nation
Reaffirming the Government’s commitment to national unity, the Prime Minister vowed that racism would not be tolerated, nor would a system that protects only the elite while leaving others vulnerable.
“We have come into power with the mandate entrusted to us by the people. We have a responsibility to fulfill that trust. Let us work together to build a nation where equality prevails and every citizen can live in safety. Unity is our strength – no force can divide us,” she declared.
Balanced Development for All Regions
Acknowledging that development has been uneven across the country, Dr. Amarasuriya assured that the Government is committed to implementing a nationwide development framework that benefits all regions equally.
“The path we have chosen is not easy, but it is necessary. We will honor the trust you have placed in us and uphold the hope for a better future,” she affirmed, calling on citizens to actively participate in the nation-building process to ensure a prosperous and dignified life for all.
