Development, Education and Learning in Sri Lanka an International Research Journey

---

This book presents a rich, longitudinal narrative spanning over 50 years of research into Sri Lanka’s education system. It highlights the nation’s early strengths in literacy and education—once viewed internationally as a development benchmark—and examines how these gains evolved amid political, economic, and social upheavals. Through collaborations with local researchers, educators, policymakers, and community members, the study explores schooling practices, classroom dynamics, educational reforms, and persistent inequalities. The analysis is rooted in global development discourse, touching on themes of modernization, basic needs, dependency, globalization, and sustainable development. Ultimately, the work argues for understanding education and development in Sri Lanka on its own terms, advocating to centralize learning in education policy, aligned with broader societal values and developmental goals
