A strong warning from the Asgiri Chapter highlights growing concerns over the government’s lack of experience and direction in shaping Sri Lanka’s education system.
The Most Venerable Warakagoda Sri Gnanarathana Thero has stated that the present government lacks experience in carrying out meaningful educational reforms, raising serious concerns about the future of the country’s education system.
The Thero emphasized that education is too important to be handled in isolation and stressed that all relevant stakeholders should come together to address the issue collectively. He made these remarks when a group of representatives from the Sri Lanka Freedom Party visited him.
Speaking at the same occasion, the Deputy Chief of the Asgiri Chapter, Naramparawe Ananda Thero, highlighted that the civilization of a nation is preserved and strengthened through education. He warned that any action which harms the education system must be opposed, regardless of which government is in power.
The Thero made it clear that protecting educational values is a national responsibility, and that monks will continue to speak out whenever reforms threaten the country’s cultural and educational foundations.
