MOU on India-funded smart classrooms to be amended

Cabinet approval has been granted to amend the memorandum of understanding with the Indian Government on constructing 60 smart classrooms at selected schools in the estate areas of Nuwara Eliya, Kandy and Badulla Districts.  

The government states approval was granted at the Cabinet meeting held in December 2023 to enter into an agreement with the Indian Government to implement the smart classroom project for Advanced Level classes at selected estate schools in the said districts under the financial aid and contribution of the Sri Lankan Government. 

Taking into account the practical problems in the implementation of the project targeting only Advanced Level students, it was decided in a discussion conducted with the officials of the Indian High Commission, Ministry of Education, Department of Foreign Resources and National Budget Department to remove the said criteria. 

Accordingly, the Cabinet took into consideration the information presented by the Minister of Water Supply and Estate Infrastructure Development and approved measures to be taken to implement the project by amending the relevant memorandum of understanding.
