Ragging students assault teachers

Zero tolerance for ragging. No questions (let's be clear...except for the question that ragging indeed took place) asked.

It's improved a little, but we can do a hell of a lot better.

Free Education used at it's best.. !! Where is Sri Lanka heading?? Most of the educated [through free education] are abroad either through government scholarships or through job and none aren't returning.. Tamils claim discrimination as reason, sinhalese claim cost of living as reason.. so who is going to build this country?

No doubt we should implement a 'zero tolerance' policy and punish the culprits in a manner that it becomes a serious detterent for others.

I also believe social disparities should be narrowed so that students from low-esteem mind sets do not use the opportunity to try and 'level' disparities. If this is a major reason, I think it is best the affluent realise this malady and contribute to the social upliftment of those who are less well off, but not do so as a charity, rather a social obligation towards there own generations to come.

just get ragging in to the school system is not good. While less than 18yrs considered as minors and let one or group of minors intemediate several other minors is something serious in nature. Need action to educate all of them involve rather than solely depend on punishment.

This shows that Raggers will next be Thugs. Society has too many thugs as it is. Ragging must not be excused or tolerated.

It is disgraceful and these students deserve severe punishment. However, as a matter of fact, in some schools, principals are unable to send teachers to classes for each period of the day on time. If the timetable is strictly run, students don’t find time to organize and involve in unnecessary activities. The principals should give the priority for children’s education and their discipline. At least now they should seriously think whether they should continue those unwanted extra functions, beautifying school and pleasing politicians. This is only one incident that reflects downfall of the school education system.

I am not convinced this ragging has anything to do with education that is free or not free; and the really talented and the educated lot do flee for better shores. That is the question to investigate. Rehabilitation camps, Rohan? How about proper parenting and vigilant school administrations to begin with? And all of that supported by education ministry personnel who monitor and support the schools?

Teachers should please pupils to continue in job this is the new trend in many schools. They bring a voting system!
