Sri Lanka Teachers’ Association today signed a petition against the circular which states that all the expenses of schools except the salaries of the teachers should be accounted on the parents. The parents who were victimized by the rule further stated that the circular has made it impossible for their children to enjoy the right of free education. Pics by Nisal Baduge

    So maintenance of schools is also a burden on parents now?What about text books?Furnitures etc? all are going to be on parent's account? All except salary means this right! But millions worth luxury vehicles are all free for Ministers and MP at poor people's tax money.

    Sri Lankans deserve these things....

    Yehiya-Doha Tuesday, 25 January 2011 11:25 AM

    Where free education. Even some colombo schools ask to wear some branded shoes & school bags. Principals are most culprits.

    Roshan Wednesday, 26 January 2011 03:14 AM

    I have a point !!!

    What if we stop free education & Privatize all.
    Identify the poor students & Government will pay for their education.

    This way, we may save a lot of money, even the people know that they pay for their studies so they will not playful.
    Since it is privatized, teachers & teaching will be very effective...

    What do you all say !!!
