Minister expressed these views today (24) joining a special media conference held at the Ministry of Education to aware media about the action taken with regard to education recently.
There Minister further expressing his views,
“Yesterday a Member of Parliament alleged in a media conference, giving Tab computers by Akila is dangerous than Saharan’s bomb”. There was question for some in this country about giving Tab computer from the beginning. To stop the programme children being directed to future, various propaganda made continuesly in the past to stop giving tabs working as a digital teacher using modern technology. Hence I have a duty as the subject minister, to reveal the real position of this with the participation of who having expert knowledge about its technology.
