The Education Minister also requested teachers and principals not to opt out of online education as the online education is essential for our children as there is an inability to open schools in the country today.
According to the media, Education Minister Prof. G. L. Peiris said 622, 000 students who sat for the GCE Ordinary Level (O/L) Examination are awaiting their results.
Therefore, the Minister urged teachers not to embarrass school children by taking harsh measures over a problem that had been on their minds for 24 years.
Even though all the necessary arrangements have been made for the practical examinations for the aesthetic subjects for the O/L Examination, the minister requested those teachers not to oppress the children. (Chaturanga Samarawickrama)
