President Maithripala Sirisena says he would issue a circular which indicates that the allocations for Provincial Councils should be spent, based on a document which recognized the priorities of development.

“Many injustices have been occurred in many provinces due to spending of money over the personnel opinions of individuals, without recognizing the priorities of development”, he added.

The President was speaking at the ceremony held yesterday (Oct. 24) to open the newly built technical lab and the medical studies unit at the Ananda Balika Vidyalaya, Hingurakgoda. The badges were also pinned to the prefects of the schools at this occasion.

President Sirisena stated that if there is a shortage of desks and chairs in many school in the country, the provincial educational authorities should be responsible to rectify that.

“The requirements of the class room as well as pure drinking water, electricity and the playground facilities should be provided to the children within the development priorities in the field of education”, he said.
