As the Minister in charge of Education, I am thrilled to see the ambitious vision and initiatives of the Automobile Industry Council in transforming the automotive industry. Education plays a pivotal role in shaping the workforce of the future.

To develop our country in partnership with the Council, we should focus on the following:

Skill Development: Emphasize skill development programs in collaboration with the Council. Encourage educational institutions to offer courses tailored to the needs of the automotive industry.
Academic Partnerships: Strengthen ties between educational institutions and the Council to establish research and development centers, innovation hubs, and internships.
Scholarships and Grants: Promote scholarships and grants for students pursuing automotive-related studies, encouraging more young talent to enter the industry.
Curriculum Enhancement: Work together to enhance the automotive-related curriculum, incorporating industry best practices, emerging technologies, and sustainability aspects.
Industry-Academia Forums: Encourage regular dialogues between educational institutions and industry stakeholders to facilitate knowledge exchange.

By fostering this collaboration, we can ensure that our education system becomes a driving force in realizing the Council's vision. Together, we can shape a brighter future for both education and the automotive sector.

Today marks a significant milestone in our nation's transportation sector — the establishment of the Automobile Industry Council. As the Minister of Transport, I understand the profound impact this council will have on the fitness and quality of our vehicle fleet in Sri Lanka.

One of the pivotal aspects of this Council's mission is the garage registration and categorization process. This regulation holds immense potential for enhancing the fitness of our vehicle fleet, which is vital for safe and efficient transportation.

However, the significance of this endeavor extends beyond our roadways. The garage registration and categorization regulation calls for the upskilling and reskilling of our present and future automobile engineering and technical fraternity.

The disciplined road network that will emerge from this collaboration is not just a means of achieving safe and efficient transportation. It serves as a catalyst for positive economic activity. A well-maintained fleet of vehicles enhances trade, tourism, and logistics, boosting economic growth and prosperity for our nation.

I extend my sincere congratulations to the council and look forward to the transformative impact you will have on our transportation sector and our nation as a whole.

I am delighted to extend my warmest greetings on this momentous occasion as we mark the inauguration of the Automobile Industry Council. It is a significant milestone in the automotive sector of our great nation.

The Automobile Industry Council embodies our collective vision for the growth and excellence of this critical sector. It brings together key stakeholders to collaborate and drive innovation, development, and standardization.

The establishment of industry-specific training programmes and certifications is a monumental step forward. The implementation of Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) for the certification of generational technicians is nothing short of revolutionary.

Equally important is our commitment to developing National Competency Standards (NCS) that will uplift and upskill the future automobile engineering fraternity. These standards will not only ensure quality and safety but will also serve as a benchmark for our industry's continuous improvement.

With your support and dedication, the future of the automobile industry in our nation is brighter than ever. Together, we will drive our nation to new horizons of excellence, achievement, and global recognition.
