Closure of Educational Institutes Extended Further

Due to the Covid-19 situation across the country, the government has once again extended the closure of educational institutions until September 11th.

The decision came from a meeting of the Education Ministry, Ministry of Primary and Mass Education and the national technical advisory committee on Thursday.

The educational institutes have been closed since 17 March last year due to the pandemic.

The government had planned to reopen schools several times but had been forced to extend the closure as the pandemic situation deteriorated.
