Sri Lanka to connect all secondary schools to Internet by 2026

Sri Lankan Prime Minister Harini Amarasuriya on Wednesday, said that all secondary schools in the country will have internet access by the end of 2026.

Amarasuriya told the parliament that the government recently launched an unlimited data package for schools, which costs just 5,000 rupees (17 U.S. dollars) per month.

The government has also planned to provide smartboards and other computer equipment to about 1,500 schools.

According to Amarasuriya, these schools would receive a total of 1,900 smartboards, and the cabinet has approved a proposal to distribute smartboards to an additional 1,000 schools.

In addition, the government was setting up a national education management information system to cover all levels of the education sector.

The Sri Lankan air force was providing technical support for this initiative under the Clean Sri Lanka program, Amarasuriya said.
