Looking at the newly completed school building, the principal announced his new wish, which was to upgrade the Junior School to a High School.

“If local students can get to a High School within the village itself, they need not travel to distant places every day and be a source of worry to their parents,” Weerakeerthi said.

“But a high school must have teachers of the appropriate kind and also the necessary equipment. The new teaching building and office facilities that the Chinese company has given us will help upgrade the school. Next we need to raise the level of the teachers and the quality of teaching," he added.

The Secretary of the Southern Province of Sri Lanka Education Bureau, Y. Wickramasiri, responded positively to the Principal’s proposal.

Cheng Xueyuan, Chinese Ambassador to Sri Lanka, said that the spirit of Principal Weerakeerthi will ensure a bright future for the school.

“China will continue to strengthen and broaden cooperation with Sri Lanka in the field of culture and education. The Chinese Embassy will continue to promote campus construction projects to enable children to have a better learning environment and make them enjoy their studies,” Cheng said.
