epa11202167 Members of the Inter-University Students' Federation shout slogans as they face riot police during a demonstration demanding to secure their free education rights in Colombo, Sri Lanka, 06 March 2024. The Inter-University Students' Federation members took to the streets against the proposed new national education policy framework, which they accuse of destroying the free education system in the country. Sri Lankan President Ranil Wickremesinghe announced in his 2024 Budget speech that a series of comprehensive education reforms would be enacted. As a result, a panel of 25 experts was created to develop a new national education policy framework. Currently, the draft of the National Education Policy Framework is discussed in the Sectoral Oversight Committee on Education in the parliament. EPA/CHAMILA KARUNARATHNE
