Concurrent to the national development drive, a program to uplift early childhood and pre-school education in the country is being launched on the directions of President Mahinda Rajapaksa.

As an initial step in this regard Ven. Dr. Bandagiriye Somawansa Thera who has been appointed Presidential Advisor on Early Childhood and Pre-school Education has organised a countrywide awareness program on the subject.

Ven. Somawansa has requested those interested and involved in this subject to forward their problems and ideas and views to enable him to draw up a comprehensive program to uplift this sector. All information should be sent to the National Child Information Centre, National Children’s Education Foundation, Mulleriyawa New Town, he said.
