You have an unlimited pot of money. How would you invest this to improve the education system in Sri Lanka?
I believe children living all across the country should have access to quality education. Therefore, if I had an unlimited source of money, I would develop a strategy so that every child in Sri Lanka has equal access to primary and secondary education. This can be done by providing incentives for teachers and Improving infrastructure in schools across the country.
In addition, steps must be carried out to provide standardized educational materials for A/L students. So that they won’t need to attend extra classes.
