"Education is the future of the nation".. indeed it is! So sad that most of the so-called "educationalists" do not seem to think so! Hope that these "educationalists" will NOT involve children, especially the vulnerable age groups, in their irresponsible and disgraceful "strike"!! Hats off indeed to the teachers who continued to teach among threats and many other difficulties...

Uncle, I do not know what school you went to nor do I want to know. I went to a leading school in Colombo and we always had a lot of concern of the teachers who taught us. Just a building and a free entrance is not school.

As education minister did you apologize to teachers over the utterance of your cabinet colleague?

Only talk! Why then reduce budget allocation to education and increase for Military?
