Sri Lanka, April 23 -- Public servants learning new languages should undergo regular progress reviews to ensure their skills remain effective, according to Minister of Justice and National Integration, Attorney Harshana Nanayakkara.

The Minister shared these views during a discussion with officials at the National Institute of Language Education and Training (NILET).

The meeting took place on the afternoon of the 21st at the NILET premises in Makumbura, where the organisation's structure and operations were reviewed.

The Minister instructed staff to implement a follow-up mechanism every three or four years to assess how government employees who studied Sinhala and Tamil actually apply those skills in their duties.
