Asoka College

Best school in sri lanka අසව් දරව් හසිරෙව්

I had a great experience 30 some years ago attending school here. Too bad schools like these and school in rural areas in Sri Lanka do not receive the same kind of funding and resources to provide equal opportunity and access to education for all Sri Lankan children. The government and private school system in Sri Lanka has to change to support all Sri Lankan students but I don't know if that will ever happen. The Administration and Teachers did their best with what they have at Asoka considering the hard circumstances that is not caused by fault of their own.

“Stockwatta Primary School” was nominated as a Grade one school for primary education in the year 1974. It changed its name to “Asoka Primary Vidyalaya” in the year 1977 and in 1980 it was become a secondary school.

The School started building its education as well as in sports and other extra curriculum activities. The time passed gradually, the founder of Asoka Vidyalaya the principal Mr. Dharmaratne has declared his retirement after 23 years of immense and valuable service. That was a sad day to all past Asokians including all the teachers and parents.

අසව් දරව් හැසිරෙව්.
ආ මග සිහිය තබව්.
දිරියෙන් පෙරටම යව්.
අසෝක ධජය පුදව්!

In 1971, Mr. Premadasa Udugama who was then Secretary to the Ministry of Education had a concept to build up three new Primary model schools in Colombo District. As a result Mahnama, Sirimavo & Asoka has been put forward in line with a broader perspective. Though both Sirimavo and Mahanama were granted two lands with buildings, Asoka received only a small bare land at Maradana
