The Ministry of Education states that the activities of all schools on the island will commence as usual from today (17).
On May 9, supporters of former Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa launched an attack on the Gulface protest, prompting curfews and disrupting school operations.
However, the curfew was lifted at 5.00 am today and school activities are scheduled to resume as usual, said Lalitha Egodawila, Additional Secretary for School Affairs at the Ministry of Education.
