Sri Lanka to reopen schools in phased manner

Colombo: Principals, teachers and other staff in Sri Lanka returned to schools on Monday after three months of lockdown imposed in the country to contain the spread of the coronavirus.
Education Minister DullasAlahapperuma said the students will return to schools next week under four phases.
“The principals, teachers and the non-academic staff should return to work today (Monday) to set plans for the students’ return next month,” Alahapperuma said.
“Our sons and daughters walking back to study would be the ultimate signal of the country returning to normalcy after the pandemic”, Alahapperuma said. (PTI)
