It was his first inspection tour after being appointed as the Education Minister. This school is among the three schools in the Gampaha district where there are less than 10 students.
The Minister had an interaction with the student, teacher and the Principal and guessed that the situation of the school in other parts of the island would be worse.
Minister Gunawardene told the Daily News that he also visited the Ananda Primary School, Minuwangoda where there are no students nor teachers.
This school has been reduced to a principal who was not in the school when the Minister arrived there. This Principal in question has pasted a notice on his office door saying that he left for the Zonal educational office. Gunawardene said he has plans to meet this situation effectively and ensure that the resources in the education sector are properly distributed to all stakeholders equally.
"I will discuss with Provincial educational authorities and implement an effective mechanism to overcome this situation," he added.
