NPP-2024-P-164

Decentralize Sri Lanka Customs operations to provide more efficient and cost-effective services.

NPP 2024Manifesto source

Why this status: The government’s official national policy repeats this economic or tax commitment as a key activity. This is a formal implementation direction, but no nationwide completion evidence is shown, so the promise remains in the works.

NPP-2024-P-012

Establish a teacher service constitution and a teacher council.

NPP 2024Manifesto source

Why this status: The Ministry of Education's published reform programme says the government aims to establish a new teacher Service Minute and a Teachers' Council. This is direct, official implementation planning, but the source does not show that either body has been formally established or that a revised service constitution is in force.

Establish minimum educational qualifications and a minimum salary for Early Childhood Development Centre Wardens and teachers.

NPP 2024Manifesto source

Why this status: Under way. The Government has announced plans to introduce a preschool curriculum in 2027, train teachers, regulate preschools, use qualifications in teacher prioritisation and establish a proper salary structure. Those are direct steps toward the pledge, but no enacted minimum qualification or minimum salary is yet evidenced.

How assessments are made

One model assembles a fixed evidence file from statements and official documents. A second model assesses the promise from that evidence file, so it cannot choose the evidence that supports its own conclusion.

A promise without evidence remains unassessed. Assessments are automatically published, not editorially reviewed, and every rated promise includes its date, assessor, sources, and a route to dispute the record.
