SL, only country to provide free education, health - minister



Minister Reginald Cooray

Although education and health facilities are provided at a price in other countries, Sri Lanka is the only country which provides them free of charge to its people.

As each child has been offered an opportunity to pursue the type of education preferred by them under the Mahinda Chinthana, it is the duty of both parents and teachers to provide a sound education to children, said Minor Export Crops Promotion Minister Reginald Cooray.

He said so addressing the Biennial Prize day meeting of the Beruwala Wisdom International College held at the Jabir Hajiar Memorial Hall of the Beruwala Al-Humaisara National School recently.

Minister Cooray said, "education is the greatest gift that parents and elders could bestow on their children."

If children are given the opportunity to enter the business profession with a good education, they will gain the strength and ability to keep pace with the developing world and move forward towards greater prosperity.

Minister Cooray said that English language has become a global language today.

Therefore, children should learn English well if they wanted to prosper in life.

He said Mahinda Chinthana has provided children with opportunities to study the English langauge too.

"I am happy about the progress achieved by Wisdom International College in education and other aspects. I am always ready to provide it with all the necessary assistance and support at all times," the minister said.

Kalutara District Parliamentarian M S M Aslam, Beruwala UC Chairman Milfer Caffor, Wisdom International College Managing Director M H M Fowsar, Managing Co-ordinator M Z M Zahir and Principal Mumthaj Yasmin Saheed, Beruwala Pradeshiya Sabha Chairman Prasanna Sanjeewa and China Fort Gem and Jewellery Association President Dr M Z M Nizar joined in the distribution of prizes and certificates.
