Education in Sri Lanka has a long history that dates back two millennia. The Constitution of Sri Lanka provides for education as a fundamental right. Sri Lanka's population has a literacy rate of 98.1%, higher than that expected for a developing nation; it has the highest literacy rate in South Asia and overall, one of the highest literacy rates in Asia. Education plays a major part in the life and culture of the country and dates back to 543 BC. Sri Lanka's modern educational system was brought about by its integration into the British Empire in the 19th century. Education currently falls under the control of both the Central Government and the Provincial Councils, with some responsibilities lying with the Central Government and the Provincial Council having autonomy for others. ==Administration== Primary school to higher education are primarily funded and overseen by three governmental ministries.〔(Historical Overview of Education in Sri Lanka, Ministry of Education )〕 * Ministry of Education: for schools, pirivenas (schools for Buddhist priests), teachers training colleges and colleges of education * *Department of Examinations: National examination service * Ministry of Higher Education & Highways: for universities * Ministry of Education Services: for supplying the physical facilities required for general education * Ministry of Skills Development and Vocational Training: for vocational education and technical colleges Exceptions to this system exist — mostly when it comes to tertiary with several public universities and institutes coming under the purview of different ministries. These divisions have led to a high degree of mismanagement and inefficiency over the years. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Education in Sri Lanka」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
