Kilinochchi District gets two educational zones for the first time
By N Logathaylan
View(s): Two educational zones have been set up in the Kilinochchi District for the first time since the zonal system was introduced some 30 years ago.
Of the country’s 25 districts, the Kilinochchi district had been the only district without zones until last week. This had caused several administrative difficulties in implementing directives issued to educational zones.
During a visit to the Northern Province last week, Education Minister G L Peiris handed over the directive to Governor P S M Charles, instructing her to form two zones in the district with immediate effect.
Accordingly, the district has now been divided into two educational zones with Karaichchi and Pooneryn forming one zone and Kandawalai and Pachchilaipalli the other.
