Date:

April 01, Colombo (LNW): The Ministry of Education has announced that the second phase of the first school term for the 2025 academic year will commence today (01) for all government schools and government-approved private institutions. This follows the conclusion of the first phase of the term on March 14.

However, as part of religious observances, the Ministry has granted a special holiday for Muslim schools today in recognition of the Ramadan festival, ensuring that students and staff can participate in the celebrations.

Meanwhile, health authorities have urged parents and school administrations to remain vigilant about the increasing spread of chickenpox among children.

Medical professionals have advised parents to monitor for early symptoms such as fever, rash, and fatigue, and to keep affected students at home to prevent further transmission within school environments.
