The President stressed that the best investment for the future is investing in education. Therefore, the government is launching a proper mechanism to offer the best education for students by upgrading every school to a level of a developed school.
President Sirisena added that it is not a healthy situation for a developing country when its development plans change from time to time due to political decisions. Therefore, it is a timely need to bring the country forward with a common mechanism, which is free from politics.
The President, while highlighting the need of identifying development priorities said that several four-lane carpeted-roads constructed during the last regime are not properly utilized because of the failure to identify the development priorities prior to commencing those development projects.
The government is engaged in building a conducive environment suitable for the people of every ethnicity to live peacefully and happily in a brotherhood. No room will be left to have a conflict again, he said. Unlike the past no room will be left for ethnic hatred, he stressed.
