There are
two main types of schools in Sri Lanka
, governmental and non-governmental schools; most of
these schools provide primary and secondary education.
Governmental schools are categorized into two main types: national
schools and provincial schools. The former are controlled by the
Ministry of
Education of the central government follow the local curricula
languages of
Sinhala,
Tamil and in a few schools
English, and the latter are controlled by
provincial councils.
Non-governmental schools are also categorized into two types:
private schools and international schools. Private schools are not
directly controlled by the government but follow regulations and
the local curricula set up by the Ministry of Education in the
languages of
Sinhala,
Tamil and
English.
International schools are schools which have
English as the primary language of
instruction and mostly follow a foreign curriculum, with a very few
non-international schools opting to have both local and foreign
curricula. A unique feature is that, unlike the private schools
governed by regulations of the Ministry of Education, international
and other non-international schools are listed under the Board of
Investment (BOI) and not under the ministry of education.
Colleges in Sri Lanka are not tertiary level educational
institutes, but primary and secondary level schools. All of the
elite colleges were established in the
colonial era
while others have been established in later years.
Note: All lists are in alphabetical order; Balika Vidyalaya =
girl's (only) school,
Madhya Maha
Vidyalayas = central school.
