This will make it simpler to identify the children’s learning outcomes,” Dr. Gamage added. Dr. Gamage suggested that the teachers can align their lessons to the education programmes broadcast on the TV and radio. “I hope the challenges presented by Covid-19 and the trade union action carried out by the education sector trade unions would create an opportunity to look at the much-needed reforms in the country’s education,” Dr. Gamage concluded.
