  • North Western Province schools also closed in this period

  • Applies to all schools, preschools, and piriven

  • Principals given power to close schools after consulting relevant bodies

  Due to the prevailing Covid-19 situation in the country, Minister of Education Prof. G.L. Peiris yesterday (26) ordered that all schools, preschools, and piriven in the Western and North Western Provinces be temporarily closed until 30 April. Following the decision of the Minister, The Bishop’s House has also announced that all catholic schools in the Western and North Western Province will also be closed during this period. Although the schools in other provinces will be operational from today (27) as before, a number of areas in the country have been placed under isolation to contain the spread of Covid-19, which has resulted in the closure of schools in those areas. The closure of schools until 30 April would result in a nine-day holiday till 2 May. Speaking to The Morning earlier yesterday (26), Ministry of Education Media Secretary Buddhika Wickramadara said that a decision was to be made within the day whether a decision would be made to close all schools or just schools in the Western and North Western Provinces. However, he said that principals from schools islandwide have been given the power to make decisions about the closure of their schools after consulting the zonal education director, public health inspectors, and health authorities without having to consult the Ministry of Education. “School principals have been given the power to make decisions on their schools functioning, if they need to be closed, after consulting the relevant bodies. They don’t require Ministry of Education approval.” All grades of all schools in the country opened for the second term on 19 April following the Sinhala and Tamil New Year holiday.
