The Ministry of Education has sought Rs. 2,000 million from Budget 2024 to repair dilapidated roofs, classroom walls, water stand posts for drinking water, and other damaged physical infrastructure in schools throughout the country, ministry officials told.
They said they have communicated this requirement to the Treasury.
According to a recent survey conducted by the Education Ministry’s research teams, almost all national schools – 396 in the country, have poor physical structures. National School Director Sanath Jayalath yesterday said that some of them are beyond repair, some partly broken and in need of urgent attention, and some poorly constructed and needing replacement.
