The government will move along with the proposed leadership training camps for University students at various army camps despite any opposition it might encounter, Higher Education Minister, S.B. Dissanayake stated.
At a media conference held today (May 19) in Colombo, the Minister pointed out that though these programmes are being held at army camps, no military training will be given.
The programme will commence on June 23 in 28 centers around the island with around 10,000 students participating in the first stage while the training programme will be held for 21 days.
