Schools across all nine provinces, regardless of grade level, are expected to benefit from this support, the press release said. This support is about making sure every child in Sri Lanka has the chance to learn in a safe, inclusive environment and that every teacher has the tools they need to help their students thrive, said David Sislen, World Bank Divisional Director for the Maldives, Nepal, and Sri Lanka. We are excited to be working with Sri Lanka to help students and teachers reach their full potential, he added.
