PREFACE

Accurate information, undoubtedly, is an essential tool to be used in the processes of policy-decision making. Moreover, information is widely used in

monitoring and evaluation of the performance of education systems. The Statistics Branch of the Ministry of Education has conducted school censuses

on an annual basis, during past five decades and those have become the major source of statistical information in the general education sector in Sri

Lanka. Information gathered in the school census have extensively been used by the educational planners, development partners, policy analysts and

researchers in diagnosing trends, strengths, weaknesses, gaps and needs of the education system and in formulation of educational policies and plans,

desiging developmemt-partner assisted projects and sector-wide programmes which have contributed largely to the improvement of the quality of

the education system.

The Department of Census and Statistics (DCS) is extending its valued collaboration to the Ministry of Education in carrying out annual school censuses.

Also, the officers of the Ministry of Education, national level departments and institutions, provincial departments of education, zonal education offices,

divisional education offices and the schools are actively contributing to this exercise. On behalf of the Ministry of Education, I would like to express

our gratitude to the DCS, Provincial Directors of Education and senior officials, Deputy and Assistant Directors of Education of nine provincial

departments, 99 education zones, 312 education divisions, principals and staff of all government, private and special schools and heads of Pirivens for

their coorporation which was much more helpful in conducting this exicise successfully.

This publication is organized and prepared by the Statistics Branch, a part of the DCS, operating under the Policy, Planning and Review Division of this

Ministry. I am thankful to the Senior Statistician and the staff for their hard work in gathering, organizing and analyzing data and for bringing out this

publication. We have also taken steps to publish this on the official website of the Ministry of Education (www.moe.gov.lk) and on the official website

of the Department of Census and Statistics (www.statistics.gov.lk)

I sincerely hope that this publication “Annual School Census of Sri Lanka Final Report 2020” would be of immense use to policy makers, planners in

education and the researchers in educational pursuits. We also welcome the users’ suggestions and views with regard to the coverage of data, analyses

and the publication as we honestly consider that those will definitely be helpfful for further improvements of the related processes.

Dr. (Mrs.) M.M. Wehella Additional Secretary (Policy Planning & Review) Ministry of Education “Isurupaya” Battaramulla.
