Sri Lanka's major opposition United National Party (UNP) launched a week long petition campaign to raise a million signatures today from Kurunegala.
The petition is to be handed over to Speaker W.J.M. Lokubandara urging him to take up the issue of deterioration of free education in the country at the parliament.
The signature collection will be conducted at electorate level in public, private and religious institutes including schools and tuition centers, said a UNP spokesman.
Addressing a press briefing in this regard, UNP’s National Education Services Union Chairman, Moneragala district Parliamentarian Ranjith Madduma Bandara said that free education introduced by C.W.W. Kannangara was in jeopardy today. He pointed out that the government did not do anything concrete to resolve the Grade 1 admission issue.
