President Mahinda Rajapaksa instructed the Education Minister to work out a system to subject students selected for sports activities to medical fitness tests first, the Government Information Department said.

The decision has been taken after an 18-year-old school girl died while taking part in the 5000 metre race at a School in Aranayake yesterday.
