The so-called socialist revolutionaries fight against private universities, but send their children to the very same private universities, said opposition leader Sajith Premadasa.
They disguise as being leftist in front of the country, but act capitalist when it comes to their families and children, he noted.
Premadasa was speaking after handing over smart classroom equipment to Sevamuktha Kandavura Maha Vidyalaya in Polonnaruwa.
There is serious social inequality in education, with state-sector schools far lower in quality in their services than international schools.
Those patronized by the children of VIPs and the rich have the best facilities and are of international standards.
He called for IT education from preschool level, to be taught in the English language.
