Minister
of Education Bandula Gunawardena said measures are underway to increase
the percentage of students studying science by 2016, while reducing the
percentage of students studying in the arts stream.
Accordingly, the Ministry wishes to increase the percentage of science
students to 40 percent, while the percentage of arts students is to be
reduced to 25 percent. The Ministry also expects to increase the
percentage of students studying Information Communication Technology to
75 percent, the Minister said.
From
this year, the Ministry has launched the technology stream in addition
to the traditional science, commerce and arts streams. Any student who
has passed science and mathematics with credits to three other subjects
can study the technology stream.
