It has been found out that more than 180 children had been admitted to a girl’s school in Kandy by using letters on which the signature of the Central Province Additional Education Director had been forged. 

Education Office of the Province said the Additional Director had never requested any school authority in the area to accept any child into any school.   

The forgery of the signature  has been going on since 2018 according to the Provincial Education office sources.   
The fraud was revealed by an audit inquiry conducted by the Provincial Education Office.
