Principals have been advised to totally disregard requests to admit children to schools based on letters that mention the names of President, Prime Minister and other high ranking state officials, Presidential Media Unit said.
“It had come to light that certain individuals have resorted to influence Principals to get children admitted to schools claiming that it had been ordered by the President, Prime Minister and other high ranking state officers. It has been observed that even state officials have sent such letters attempting to influence the proper enrolment procedure,” it said in a statement.
The statement said under no circumstances, Principals should admit children to schools accepting such letters.
Students should only be enrolled adhering to the guidelines and regulations stipulated by the government.
Secretary to the President, P.B. Jayasundera warned that stern action would be taken against all the principals who violate this rule.

This is a good move. But this message has to go to politicians also. If the president wants actually cut the root for such actions, the warning has to go to the people who are giving such letters, not only to principals.

Clean President? Not at all. Remember how he bombarderd the senior DIG over the phone when Rajapakse clown Wimal Weerawanse handed over the phone telling the defence seretary Gotobya Rajakpkse wnated to talk!! He clearly obstracted the DIG to do his job and now he preaches the others.

Not only schools but job seekers also should be treated the same. No one should rely on letters to gain access to a school or a job. If this excellent idea by the President could be implemented Sri Lanka will be a fair and no nonscence country like a western democracy.
