There are 845 teachers in primary schools in the province and they would follow the program to provide a better quality education in the near future. The program is the brainchild of its Chief Minister Maheepala Herath who said it was a pride for him to produce the first places in Sabaragamuwa Province both Sinhala and Tamil media at Grade 5 Scholarship examination held last year.
