Sri Lanka's 2026 national budget includes the largest education allocation in the country's post-independence history, reflecting the government's commitment to treating human capital as the foundation of national development. Prime Minister Dr. Harini Amarasuriya confirmed the record budget at a press briefing following the Budget Speech in Parliament.
Funding is directed at scaling the new competency-based curriculum from Grades 1 and 6 to additional grades in subsequent years, including revised textbooks and assessment frameworks. A substantial share targets school infrastructure upgrades, including science laboratories, libraries, and digital learning facilities in under-resourced rural and estate sector schools. Additional allocations cover teacher professional development, with mentoring networks and peer learning programmes to be established during the 2026 school year. Education analysts praised the commitment while urging transparent implementation to ensure allocated funds translate into genuine improvements in classroom learning outcomes.
