The Ministry of Education (MoE) has issued a set of instructions to ensure schoolchildren are protected from potential negative impacts due to the current high temperatures outside.
The MoE has issued directives to Provincial Directors of Education, directing them to distribute the guidelines among school Principals.
In order to mitigate the effects of the high temperatures, the rules cover a variety of precautions that students can take to ensure their safety and prevent consequences such as heat exhaustion, heat cramps, and heat strokes.
Recommendations for hydration, suitable clothing, and adjustments to outdoor activities to lessen the effects of the heat are among the specifics.
The MoE’s list of guidelines is attached below:

The Government today tabled in the House the Report of the Commission to Inquiry into the Establishment and Maintenance of Unlawful Places of Detention and Torture Chambers in the Batalanda Housing Scheme.
Former President Ranil Wickremesinghe said today he wholly rejects the Batalanda Commission report and that it was appointed wholly with the intention slinging political mud at him.
Leader of the National People’s Party (NPP) and one time Propaganda Secretary of the JVP Wimal Weerawansa accused the Government of bringing back the “Batalanda Commission” for a media spectacle instead of a genuine concern for those who suffered during the 1988-1990 period.
