Sri Lanka, March 23 -- The Education Ministry will supply fibre optic connections to 1,000 schools at the initial stage for students to stay connected at faster and secure speed.

Education Minister Susil Premajayantha said that billions of rupees have been allocated by the government for providing fibre optic connections to the 1,000 schools.

Fibre optic internet speeds are about 20 times faster than regular cable at 1 Gbps.
