Chief Justice Sarath N. Silva said in the Supreme Court today that intelligence is crucial for education although the politicians could say they need no brain to go to parliament.
The Chief Justice made these observations when the Supreme Court considered a petition pertaining to Grade 1 admission of the government schools. Petitioner Jayasiri Iththapana, Co-Secretary of the Past Pupils' Association of the Ananda College, cited that the Ministry of Education circular disregarded certain guidelines made by the Supreme Court on July 31.
The three-member Supreme Court bench summoned the Secretary of Ministry of Education, Ariyarathna Hewage, today and ordered to issue new circular including guidelines of the Supreme Court. A draft of the circular should be produced to the Supreme Court on August 27.
The Chief Justice reprimanded the Secretary of the Ministry of Education for not submitting the Supreme Court guidelines to the cabinet for consideration in compiling the new circular. The Chief Justice said that pupils' pre education should be considered when admitting to schools.
He said that the intelligence might not be needed to enter into the parliament but it is essential for the education.
The bench chaired by the Chief Justice comprised judges Raja Fernando and and Jagath Balapatabendi.
Maduluwawe Sobhitha, Daranagama Kusaladhamma and Muruththettuwe Ananda Theroes were also present in the courts when the case was summoned.
