Education not given its due in the development planning for Jaffna.
Officials of the Provincial Education Secretariat.
Recommendations in respect of any educational development have not been satisfactorily made in the overall planning for the development of the Jaffna District, it is reliably learnt from the education circles in the Additional Provincial Education Secretariat.
A team of officials on the direction of the Prime Minister Ranil Wickramasighe visited Jaffna on Monday, the 29th for consultations and to recommend to the District Officials the action plan for the implementation of the Development Program for the District under each ministry. They dwelt in their recommendations and advices with regard to development plan relating to the subjects under various Ministries but when it came to Education nothing substantial has been made. The officials interested in and concerned with educational developments are badly discontented on account of this sheer neglect of an essential sphere of planning.
