The Government outlined a plan to modernise one technical college in each of Sri Lanka’s 25 districts, linking vocational skills development with improvements to student facilities.
The proposal was discussed at Parliament on 6 February in a meeting chaired by Prime Minister Harini Amarasuriya. The official account was published the following day.
Priorities included hostels, cafeterias, healthcare and recreational spaces, with the Prime Minister urging planners to consider young people’s mental wellbeing as well as technical instruction.
Deputy Minister Nalin Hewage said work at 23 colleges could begin in the near future and that assistance from the armed forces was expected for construction and modernisation. The announcement described planned improvements; it did not indicate that all colleges had already been upgraded.
