Due to the current fuel shortage, all government and government-approved private schools in the major cities will be closed next week, the Education Ministry said.
According to a statement released by the ministry, provincial education officials have been encouraged to continue schools with fewer students at the divisional level if transportation issues do not harm students, teachers, or principals.
If the necessary facilities are available, online education should be offered to students who do not have the resources to attend school. The Public Utilities Commission of Sri Lanka (PUCSL) has also committed to offering an uninterrupted power supply from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. during the school day, according to the ministry.
The decision on whether schools will be closed for a second week will be made on Saturday (25) of the following week after reviewing the process.
