President Anura Kumara Dissanayake has announced plans to extend internet access to every school in Sri Lanka, including approximately 4,000 primary schools that currently remain without connectivity.
Presenting the 2027 Budget in Parliament on Thursday (12), the President said more than 6,000 schools had already been provided with internet access.
He said the Government expected to connect the remaining primary schools as part of its efforts to expand digital access across the education sector.
The President also said schools would receive the necessary equipment, including smart boards, to support technology-based learning.
He added that the initiative formed part of the Government’s broader programme to introduce modern technology into classrooms.
