Discussions are in progress with British Council and other international academic institutions to get their assistance to implement the activity-based oral English for grade one students from the first term starting from March next year, Education Minister Susil Premajayantha said today.
He told Parliament that 13,000 teachers who are teaching for grade one students would be trained within the next three months.
The Minister said preparing of the work book has already commenced.
He said focus has been drawn to extend this program to pre-schools as well and added that the task was handed over to the Child and Women Affairs Ministry.
The Minister said the Education Ministry would provide necessary assistance to implement that program to pre-schools as well. (Ajith Siriwardana and Yohan Perera)
