0 0

Education Minister Dr. Susil Premajayantha addressing an awareness programme on the implementation of projects organised by the Ceylon Women’s Organisation, in order to empower Women in the country, said that Innovations should be made through Vocational Training, and it is imperative that these Innovations be commercially produced to be sold in the open market.

He added that theoretical knowledge can be used for practical use through the proposed educational system and it is necessary to go beyond vocational training and prepare a system to create a suitable market for innovations.

In addition to the three main subject streams such as Arts, Science and Commerce, there is great enthusiasm among the student community to follow Biotechnology, Engineering Technology and Information Technology, which were introduced into the school curriculum around 2014, under the new subject stream called Technology.

The Minister further said that gender equality, which is the 5th goal among the 17 Sustainable Development Goals to be achieved worldwide, is at a very positive level in this country. Minister Premajayantha added that in the next five years, Women’s representation  will increase significantly by being given priority in every field, with Women already in the majority in the Administrative field.

Dr. Premajayantha observed that, among the 225 MPs in Parliament, there are only 12 female MPs. He believes that by increasing the representation of Women in the political field, without Party discrimination, a country free of corruption will be created.

The Minister went on to say that girls in this country will be able to easily overcome the new STEAM Education system, which is a future challenge in the field of Education as well as in other fields.
