The Government has decided to reopen schools for the second term on May 11. However, the second term was scheduled to commence on April 20.

The decision was taken considering the safety of the children due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Government had arranged remote communication methods for school children to continue their studies during the extended school holiday.

It also informed the Education Ministry to start academic activities of the universities following the recommendations from the University Grants Commission (UGC). (Chaturanga Samarawickrama)

Too early. The education in Sri Lanka is so lousy that it is no matter to start 2 or 3 month later.

All roads are leading to the poling station. Corona will vanish from the country and we will get back to that fantasy world in order to hold elections.

Distance learning would be the best using TV channels If schools are to open and operate as before under normal settings, the children who were saved from COVID , will be exposed to it Travel in crowded buses Crowding in schools and class rooms Distancing cannot be maintained If distance teaching methods are adopted till we overcome this menace will be advantageous
