Minister Bandula objects proposal to provide English medium education from primary to A/L

Former Minister of Education and Higher Education Bandula Gunawardena has objected to the Education Ministry’s plans to implement a pilot project to introduce English mediums for all subjects from primary to GCE Advanced Level.

The education Ministry announced that the pilot project will be implemented at the Wijerama Maha Vidyalaya in Nugegoda.

Opposing the proposal, Minister Bandula Gunawardena told the media that it was essential for children to be taught the official language of the country during their primary education.
