Sri Lanka, Clustered ID on Health and Edu. 3rd meeting 20th Session, HRC

19 June 2012, VIDEO ON-DEMAND,
Ms. Sashikala Premawardhane of Sri lanka at the 3rd Plenary Meeting - 20th Session of the Human Rights Council where she states:


"We would however caution on attaching excessive focus and arbitrary
conditionalities on developing norms and standards related to quality
education, as many developing countries are as yet grappling with the
provision of basic education to their populations. Setting goals which
require enormous finances which developing countries are often unable
to meet, and placing the onus of responsibility solely on the state
will not practically advance the quality of education. Instead, it is
suggested that realistic goals be set, which are developed taking in
to consideration the particular needs of countries and their
respective domestic situations, if we are to successfully improve the
quality of education worldwide."
