The Premier was speaking at a computer unit opening ceremony at the
Millewa Subharathi Junior College in Horana.
The Prime Minister also stated the Cabinet approval has already been
granted to recruit the Dharmacharya holders as school teachers.
He said there was a program to recruit the Dharmacharya holders to
teach computer technology to students at schools where there were no
teachers to teach the subject. Explaining the reason to recruit
Dharmacharya holders to teach Computer Technology to school students,
Prime Minister Wickramanayaka said although Europe has achieved great
strides in technology their moral values have deteriorated. "We have to
provide the younger generation with advance technology while maintaining
the moral values, customs and culture preserved for generations," he
said.
The Prime Minister requested all those who love the motherland to
join the development drive under the Government.
He also stated that the private sector should think of the country
always and warned them the Government was ready to intervene with their
affairs if the private sector acted irresponsibly.
The Millewa Subharathi Junior College received the computer unit
under the project to develop the schools which are on the verge of
closure.
Western Provincial Councillor Vidura Wickramanayaka also spoke. |
