Schools to remain closed this week

All government and government-approved private schools across the country will remain closed this week, the Ministry of Education says.

The decision was taken at a virtual meeting held with the Education Ministry officials, provincial secretaries and directors of education today.

The turnout of students, teachers and principals in schools and the Power & Energy Ministry’s fuel distribution process were taken up for discussion during the meeting.

Accordingly, it was decided that a week of holidays would be declared for government and government-approved private schools from 04th to 08th of July.
