October 15, Colombo (LNW): The Provincial Secretaries have confirmed that schools in the Western and Southern provinces, which were closed on October 14 and 15 due to severe weather conditions, will resume classes tomorrow (16).

This decision comes as the situation in these regions improves following heavy rainfall and adverse weather that forced authorities to temporarily halt educational activities.

The reopening is expected to provide relief for students and families affected by the disruptions, allowing them to return to their normal routines.

In light of the recent flooding, the Provincial Directors of Education have been given the authority to make individual decisions regarding the reopening of schools that have been particularly impacted.

This includes institutions that have served as temporary shelters for those displaced by the floods. The directors will assess the safety and readiness of these schools before making announcements about their reopening.

Meanwhile, parents are encouraged to stay informed through official channels regarding any further developments that may affect their children’s education.
