    Introduction The government established the new State Ministry of Women and Child Development, Pre- Schools & Primary Education, School Infrastructure & Education Services to have an active contribution to achieve its goal of building a prosperous country. Education-based human resource development lays a solid foundation for the empowerment of women. Under the process, it is considered as significant to develop knowledge, skills and capacities as well as values based on education to mould a productive and contented society. The functions of the present Ministry can be divided into 03 categories. The main functions in the women development sector include providing and implementing necessary resources and methodologies for empowering women to face social, economic, and professional issues and challenges without gender discrimination, and developing knowledge, skills and attitudes to have their active involvement in the country’s development process. The main functions in the child development sector include formulation, implementation and monitoring of rules, regulations and programmes required to mould a younger generation with balanced development and to ensure their active involvement in child-friendly and sensitive activities (specifically, priority will be for ensuring child rights and their safety) The main functions of the spheres of Primary Education, School Infrastructure & Education Services aim at moulding a community of students who are capable of involving in country’s development process armed with Sri Lankan identity, skills
