Colombo, Dec.1 (Daily Mirror) - Even though the first term of 2022 had begun on April 18, textbooks had not been distributed to the schools until December, the 2022 Annual Auditor General's Report said.

Accordingly, a total of 22,082,941 textbooks for Grades 1 to 11 were distributed during May and December of 2022.

Hence, 67 percent of the textbooks, equivalent to 22,082,941 out of the 32,831,750 printed for 2022, could not be distributed on time before the commencement of the first term, the report said.

Furthermore, the Department had entered into agreements with 23 printers in 2022 in order to print 32,890,400 textbooks for 2023.

Although the first term had begun on March 20, 2023, the Education Department has been unable to supply 15,645,654 textbooks to the distribution centers.

When inefficiencies are seen in all Ministries this is no surprise. A video is circulating where a school girl explaining where the government's/politicians went wrong/false promises. She request every one involved to make a system change
