Due to the variety of ethnic groups in Sri Lanka, many schools teach only in either Sinhala or in Tamil and unfortunately not in English. The elite colleges in major cities such as Colombo and Kandy, teach in all three mediums. Teacher at Saturday school,Sri Lanka, 2014.

A Peace Pagoda is a Buddhist stupa; a monument to inspire peace, and designed to provide a focus for people of all races and creeds. It is meant to help unite them in their search for world peace. Most (though not all) peace pagodas built since World War II have been built under the guidance of Nichidatsu Fujii (1885–1985), a Buddhist monk from Japan and founder of the Nipponzan-Myōhōji Buddhist Order. Fujii was greatly inspired by his meeting with Mahatma Gandhi in 1931, and decided to devote his life to promoting non-violence. In 1947, he began constructing Peace Pagodas as shrines to World peace. The Unawatuna Peace Pagoda built by Nipponzan Myohoji monks, is on the headland between Unawatuna and Galle. Sri Lanka, 2014.
