21, 2003 - 9.30 GMT]
With the view to instill
the concept communal integration
among children in their formative years, the Cabinet of Ministers in 2001
approved a Project to set up Amity Schools. The idea was mooted by the
President herself and the objective of the project was to inculcate a true
national identity among Sri Lankans.
 Schools
located in cosmopolitan areas around the country were considered an ideal
starting point. Several such schools have already been identified; President
Chandrika Kumaratunga will on 23rd July 2003 meet with the
principals of these schools at President’s House.
The Amity Schools would
accommodate children of all races and religions. English will be the medium
of instruction in some key subjects such as Math, Environment & Health
Science in these schools. At the meeting on the 23rd the President plans to
review and discuss the progress of the Project with the Principals of these
schools and some resource persons.
