Due to adverse weather conditions, authorities have decided to allow students in Bandarawela Education Zone, who have been displaced, to attend any nearby school.
According to Zonal Education Director of Bandarawela, H.M.M. Dhammika Herath, the decision was reached due to the absences of a majority of students in schools in the area due to severe weather conditions.
Makaldeniya Tamil Vidyalaya in Koslanda, Haldumulla and Meeriyabedda Tamil Primary School have reportedly been closed due to absences.
Teachers of the aforementioned schools have been told to report to duty at Sri Ganesha Tamil Maha Vidyalayam in Koslanda.
