More schools come forward for Kuliyapitiya child

Several schools, both Government and private, have already come forward to admit the child from Kuliyapitiya who was denied entry to schools in the area over a false rumor that he was infected with HIV. 

Trinity College, Kandy and Zahira College, Kurunegala, have already offered to admit the child. 

President Maithripala Sirisena and Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe meanwhile, have directed education officials to admit the child to a Government school, after several schools, both in Colombo and other towns, came forward. 

Education Minister Akila Viraj Kariyawasam, who was widely criticized for his earlier statement where he claimed he would seek a court order to separate the child from his mother, has now said the child would be admitted to a Government school.
