He said the Government jointly with the Education Department has
already formulated this scheme which will be implemented shortly.
The President made this announcement at a meeting with Dhamma School
teachers, poets and the people engaged in the handicraft industry at
Temple Trees yesterday.
President Rajapaksa said Dhamma Schools play a key role in the
promotion of Sri Lanka’s culture and age old rites and rituals. The
number of students coming to Dhamma Schools have seen a substantial
improvement during the past four years.
President Rajapaksa said he organizes a Bana sermon at Temple Tree
every Full Moon Poya day and Dhamma education helped the people to
endure happiness and unhappiness in the same vein.
The President stressed that he learnt to live following the noble
precepts of the Dhamma from Dhamma Schools and the Government will never
underestimate their service to society. |
