June 27, 2017 04:24 pm
The Ministry of Education announced that the closing date for accepting applications for 2018 admissions to Grade 1 in state schools has been extended till July 10, 2017.
The closing date was previously set for June 30, 2017.
The Ministry instructs parents who have not submitted application forms yet to also submit a copy of the National Identity Card (NIC) certified by the holder directly to the school, and subsequently obtain a letter from the Principal confirming submission.
Principals of state schools have accordingly been instructed to accept copies of NICs and issue letters confirming receipt in return to applicants’ parents.
Meanwhile, if due to some reason, applications already sent via post are received by schools after June 30, 2017, Principals have been instructed to accept those applications as well.
