Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe today (May 20) requested all students to return to school and resume academic activities as usual since the country's security has been restored to normalcy.
The Prime Minister made this request while addressing a press conference at Temple Trees today.
During the briefing, Mr. Wickremesinghe also emphasised that permission will not be granted to set-up Sharia universities in the country.
“We can only permit the establishment of degree awarding institutes. A legal order must be issued to bar any institution from functioning as a Sharia university,” Mr. Wickremesinghe noted.
He also added that all Madarasa institutions will be brought under the Education Ministry in future.
