this must have been done when the first int 'school was open in the country.it s good at least now the need has been recognised.better if they can include schools like........, where girl commited suiside recently where the education ministry had to say that they can not interfere due to that being private school, be in government, private , international or what ever, those who study there are our children, so this is good

Every corner of big cities has International Schools!! It’s funny! But there is no even a single student from overseas. This is another mess in Sri Lankan education. It is high time to regulate.

Why don"t you monitor National school before monitoring international schools. We are unable to set a correct question paper.... no teachers.....higher rate of exam failures..

not even a single overseas student? I studied at Gateway and I can tell you that there are plenty of foreign students in the 'proper' international schools...

I totally agree with the comment of Hussain. Mr Minister first you have to consider the standards of the government schools. some schools have only 10 or 20 students and they do not have any facilities at all. but when it comes to school admissions you deduct 5 points for these schools as well as for the National schools which have lot of facilities.

All International schools are just like "Education Shop" to money making. GOSL must look all matter related with international schools, Culture, religion, and enviroment,
The curriculum and system must be monitored by the Ministry of Education, Its good move but too late. Also all The Islamic private Madrasa Must be provided unic curriculam by the Goverment approved Sura Council to bring peace amond Mulims and avoid groupings.The curriculum and system must be monitored by the Ministry of Education, Its good move but too late.

I think its better to check the standard of the government schools first. Majority of children are studying in government schools and its paramount that we ensure their standard before focusing on minority.

If my memory stands correct, I believe the reason for that is that the Education Act of this country does not permit 100% private schools

There was a similar move by Dr Tara de Mel under the presidency of Mrs Kumaratunge. Some schools paid a fee of Rs. 5,000/ and registered. What happened to that?

There are only two legitimate international schools on this island: the British School and the Overseas School of Colombo. The rest just use the name.

The first thing Bandula G will do is to set up a mechanism for periodic revision of School Fees. The schools which charge low fess will be asked to increase their fees in line with others or they will be shut down.
