Students of Mederigama Maha Vidyalaya in Mawanella, who visited the historic Old Parliamentary Chamber located within the Presidential Secretariat premises on 12 October under the ’Vision’ programme organised by the Presidential Secretariat, had the opportunity to meet Prime Minister Dr. Harini Amarasuriya and engage in a friendly conversation.
During the discussion, the students openly shared their views with the Prime Minister on current education reforms, school life, and the various challenges they face in their educational activities. They were also able to exchange their experiences and opinions with the Prime Minister freely and without hesitation.
Marking the visit, the Prime Minister presented a special plant to Mederigama Maha Vidyalaya.
At the beginning of the visit, the students were briefed on the historical significance, former grandeur and national importance of the Old Parliamentary Chamber. Subsequently, Senior Additional Secretary to the President, Mr. Roshan Gamage, briefed the students on the role of the President’s Fund and the services it provides to the public.
The ’Vision’ programme is implemented with the aim of nurturing an intelligent generation that values democratic principles, understands the role of state institutions, and acts responsibly towards the future of the country. Through this initiative, school students are given the opportunity to visit places of national importance and engage in open discussions on significant issues affecting the country.
