On the 3rd of August 2016 at Isurupaya (Ministry of Education) the Sati Pasela concept, genesis, pilot project in schools and feedback from students were presented to Honorable Minister Akila Viraj Kariyawasam and the Secretary Mr W M Bandusena. Brief presentations were made by Professor Lakshman Jayatileka (Chairman, National Education Commission) and Prof Saroj Jayasinghe (Professor of Clinical Medicine, University of Colombo). The Minister was very responsive and appreciative of the program and endorsed the proposal to extend the pilot program to several schools. National schools and Provincial schools could be included in the program and the Secretary to the Ministry would keep the Provincial authorities informed on an informal basis. A more extensive feedback from teachers, students & parents would be obtained thereafter and the analyses will be presented to the Ministry.
Meanwhile the National Education Commission (the education policy developing agency of the government) will discuss Sati Pasela and make its own recommendations.
