📢 Prime Minister's Message

"To create an education system with equal privileges in the country, decisions must be made based on correct data management."

Prime Minister Dr. Harini Amarasuriya stated that every child in Sri Lanka should have an equal opportunity to experience quality education. She emphasized that educational reforms must be guided by accurate data, proper policies, and technological advancement.

💻 National Education Management Information System (NEMIS)

The National Education Management Information System has been developed to modernize the fields of human resource management and educational administration, which are among the key pillars of Sri Lanka's education reforms.

Previously, different provinces operated separate information systems independently. Through NEMIS, information relating to both National and Provincial schools will now be maintained under one centralized digital platform, improving efficiency, transparency, and accuracy.

🚀 First Phase Implementation

• Launch of the Human Resources Module.
• Teacher transfer activities will initially be managed through the system.
• First implemented in:
  • Western Province
  • Southern Province
  • Sabaragamuwa Province
  • North Western Province
• The system will gradually be expanded to all provinces across Sri Lanka.
• Future modules will manage the human resources of all academic staff working in schools.

📚 e-Thaksalawa Learning Management System (LMS)

Alongside NEMIS, the pilot project of the e-Thaksalawa Learning Management System (LMS) was also launched.

The LMS aims to:

• Expand digital learning opportunities.
• Strengthen teaching and learning activities.
• Improve student evaluation processes.
• Develop future-ready digital citizens.

👩‍🏫 Digitalization Will Not Replace Teachers

Addressing the gathering, Prime Minister Dr. Harini Amarasuriya emphasized that digitalization is not intended to replace teachers.

She stated that education depends on human relationships and interaction. Technology should be used as a supporting tool to improve teaching and learning, while teachers remain the most important part of the educational process.

Through digitalization, the Government expects to:

• Provide quality education to schools with fewer facilities.
• Extend the influence of highly skilled teachers to every school.
• Create better learning opportunities for children with special needs.
• Build humane and future-oriented citizens.

• Prime Minister's Office
