The cabinet meeting held on March 1, 2023, granted formal approval for the National Curriculum Framework and its implementation strategy, marking a significant milestone in the country's education reform agenda. The framework was developed by the National Institute of Education, with work on the initiative commencing in 2019 as part of comprehensive efforts to modernize the education system.
The approved curriculum encompasses revised modules tailored for multiple grade levels, including Grades 1, 6, and 10, which represent key transitional points in students' educational progression. The phased approach reflects the government's commitment to systematic implementation across the school system.
The National Curriculum Framework represents an overhaul of existing pedagogical standards and learning outcomes to better align with contemporary educational practices and student needs. The implementation methodology establishes the framework and procedures through which schools will adopt the new curriculum structure.
With cabinet approval secured, education authorities are now positioned to commence the implementation process across designated grade levels. The initiative is expected to strengthen the quality and relevance of education provided to Sri Lankan students.
