A full-scale investigation will be carried out into the incidents where photos were shared on social media showing some students sitting for the O/L examination with umbrellas to protect themselves from rain, Examination Commissioner General L.M.D. Dharmasena said.
He said disciplinary action will be taken against the principal of the Gampaha Thakshila Vidyalaya for compelling candidates to sit for the examination while holding umbrellas and posting images on social media.
The principal could have provided an alternate location to conduct the examination, but she had failed to do so.
However, disciplinary action will be taken at provincial level by the Education Ministry and examinations department.
Meanwhile, the teacher who was involved in the sexual harassment of the female school candidate in Kaluvilasena Maha Vidyalaya, Hidogama, has been arrested and remanded, while investigations into the incident continue.
The north central province education department had taken steps to interdict him.
The assistant examination invigilator had not disclosed the incident and action has been taken against him too. (Chaturanga Samarawickrama)

Disciplinary action against whom? Ministry of education should be held accountable for this. Will this happen? I doubt very much.

Disciplinary action should be taken against government Gota Ranil and Mahinda for the present pathetic state of our country.

“The principal could have provided an alternate location to conduct the examination, but she had failed to do so.”??? These kids are packed in schools like sardines, you think the principal is sitting on the luxury of alternate locations??? Leave the principal alone, if they didn’t have the bravery to post this on social media the mongrel inept lazy education dept government servants and politicians would be telling us how every student in Sri Lanka enjoys developed world facilities. Damn crooks trying to shoot the whistle blower!

Disciplinary action against your Pay master and Employer?? That will be significant indeed. How far it would help, is questionable??

Gampaha District people are so rich they reconstruct houses whithin a week. Probably they don't know what a school is! They only know politicos houses as buildings

Actions should be taken against Education Minster and those officials who have miserably failed to upgrade infrastructure facilities in relevant exam centres in question. You should not go after those whistleblowers , Examinations Commissioner , Mate !!

Disciplinary actions should be against education ministry not whom who took the photographs.Specially school principal who neglect the duty.

The principal had the only option of shifting the exam to her house.

Examination Commissioner General should ashamed by taking up investigation on the issue with the principal of the Gampaha Thakshila Vidyalaya. Instead the right thing for him to do is ask the Education ministry on why they failed to provide basic needs in govt schools. Examination Commissioner General you, yourself have failed and ashamed of such a state and in fact should commend on highlighting these facts by the principal rather than taking action against the principal.

Under the Pohottuwa theory, you should be taking disciplinary action against rain Gods.
