The State Minister for Education Aravinda Kumar at a press conference at the Presidential Media Centre (PMD) on Wednesday (23) under the theme ‘Collective Path to a stable country’ announced plans for the recruitment of eight thousand teachers for government schools in the near future. He indicated that this recruitment will include 5,500 graduate teachers and 2,500 teachers specializing in second language instruction.

He also said that under the guidance of the Minister of Education, a comprehensive educational reform program has already been set in motion, encompassing updated curricula. Globally, the STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) education system has garnered remarkable success, and presently, the government is directing its focus toward implementing the STEAM education concept. STEAM integrates science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics, serving as a dynamic approach to modern education.

The government has also developed strategic plans to equip students with technological proficiency and to facilitate learning through cutting-edge technical methodologies. Moreover, recognizing the challenges posed by the ongoing pandemic, the Ministry of Education has made a thoughtful decision to provide vocational, technical, and English language training to students who are awaiting the outcomes of their General and Advanced Level examinations. This initiative covers 320 schools across the nation and is scheduled to commence in January of the upcoming year. This forward-looking endeavour will empower students to gain valuable insights into their prospective careers the state minister added.
