• Secondary Education Modernisation Project
  Up to one million secondary students will benefit from a new programme to modernise Sri Lanka's secondary education, with the modernisation of 2,300 secondary schools nationwide. Modern teaching facilities such as multimedia rooms will be provided in all the secondary schools to enable the use of television, VCRs and audiocassettes as learning materials in key subjects. A major focus of the project will be on developing computer literacy. The first stage was launched from the Kalutara district by providing at least one or two computers to each rural school in the district. It is hoped to open 24 computer centres equipped with a set of 20 computers and accessories each in the district. This programme will be further extended to cover all districts in 2003.
