Kaduwela Magistrate today issued an order calling on the doctors occupying the Ministry of Education to vacate the premises.

About 200 doctors were waiting in the auditorium of Education Ministry since yesterday requesting a meeting with Minister Akila Viraj Kariyawasam over an anomaly in admitting Government doctors’ children to State National Schools.

Why can't the Minister meet them, whether their demand is justified or not?

Put them in jail without a court hearing. Close all government hospitals and medical schools. Lets all go to Singapore for treatment.

DOCTORS AND ARMED FORCES NEED SPECIAL TREATMENT TO THEIR CHILDREN. WHAT ABOUT OTHER CHILDREN ?

Can't doctors get an order the Minister to vacate the post?

Just abolish the primary sections of all 'popular' schools and develop the primary schools around them. This will be a solution once and for all.

Harsha Thursday, 15 September 2016 12:55 PM

All the children should be equal in front of law. How can they expect special treatment in everything duty free car, special school etc. Already they had free education for their qualification

Perfectly true

They are asking to be given undue preference over other hardworking parents children. What they are asking for is an anomaly .

Harsha, Every citizen enjoys free education up to Advance Levels. Doctors are the people who hadn't wasted any money by passing A/L. The people who failed it have wasted lot more than doctors. It's better to study well without blaming them.

When working in the CEB;s Hydro Complexes in Laxapana and Mahaweli I had to run two homes (one in Colombo) to give my children a suitable education. Why cannot the Doctors (who are minting money) do so.

Mandy Thursday, 15 September 2016 09:49 PM

But when they ask for everything and do not know how to behave, we feel it is wasted money.
