 Isuru Schools Development Programme
 
 
Isuru School concept, based on the Mahinda Chinthana 10 year Development Strategy (Pg.70), has been proposed with the aim of upgrade provincially administered secondary school to a fully - fledged secondary school in each of the 325 Divisional Secretariat Divisions. The Asian Development Bank funded Education for Knowledge Society Project (EKSP) will assist the Ministry of Education to upgrade 104 secondary schools nationwide in focusing poorest divisions which are selected based on poverty indices. All identified secondary schools under Isuru Schools Development Programme will be developed with academic requirements. However, each of the Schools should/will become a centrally located 'centre of excellence' fostering the realization of national educational goals and the needs of the immediate community, in a Knowledge Society milieu.
