New projects

Mr. Sasi said thee government had prioritised public education, and was drawing up a number of projects for the same.

Changes would be brought in the functioning of and teaching in government and aided schools in keeping with the times.

Students’ academic standards would be raised, and improvements made, including to school buildings.

Teachers, voluntary organisations, and the public should support the government’s efforts to ensure this, he said.
