Schools across Sri Lanka will resume classes tomorrow following closures caused by Cyclone Ditwah, the Education Ministry announced. However, 147 damaged schools will remain closed, while flexibility will be granted on school uniform requirements in affected areas.
Schools that were closed due to adverse weather conditions linked to Cyclone Ditwah are scheduled to reopen across the country tomorrow (16), according to the Ministry of Education.
Ahead of the reopening, school principals, teachers, and non-academic staff have been instructed to report to their respective institutions today (15) to carry out necessary preparations and ensure a safe return for students.
The Ministry noted that 147 schools that suffered damage or are still unsafe will not resume academic activities at this stage.
Considering the challenges faced by communities impacted by the disaster, the Ministry has also introduced a relaxed approach to school uniform regulations for students as well as academic and non-academic staff in affected areas.
