Introduction
This report presents the preliminary findings of the School Census 2006, which was
carried out as at 1st July 2006. This census, which has been carried out by the
ministry for the last 40 years, covers all government schools in the country.
Information about the school, students, teachers, non-academic staff and the
physical facilities available is collected using 2 forms. In addition, separate censuses
are carried out to collect information from private schools, pirivenas, Teacher
Training Colleges and National Colleges of Education.

Although the national schools represent a mere 3.3 per cent of all schools, almost
one fifth of Sri Lankan children are attending those schools.
Navodya schools, which were selected to be developed under DSD schools

project in year 2001, were started with the intention of reducing the existing high
demand for the national schools. There were 457 such schools in July 2006.
