MESSAGE FROM THE HON. PRIME MINISTER

- Ranil Wickremesi­nghe Prime Minister

We are delivering on our plans to transform our education system in Sri Lanka and empower our youth. We are investing in technical and vocational training as a part of our developmen­t strategy and investment­s in universiti­es and financial support to students are among major improvemen­ts. By following this plan, we are delivering better opportunit­ies and uplifting our youth.

EDEX has become the largest single nationwide platform for Sri Lankan Youth to pursue their higher education aspiration­s. It offers an opportunit­y for our youth to explore secondary, graduate and post graduate qualificat­ions with skills developmen­t.

EDEX Mid-year Expo 2018 which marks the 33rd event of the series reflects the steps we are taking to empower our youth and ensure that they have the skills they need in a globally competitiv­e and fast changing market place.

The event will provide the students who look for tertiary education with the informatio­n they need to make the right choices. It is also an opportunit­y for educationa­l service providers to promote their courses, programmes and services.

I wish the organisers of the event the very best and I hope that the EDEX Expo will reach greater heights in helping our government to empower and support our Sri Lankan youth.
