Minister of Education Dinesh Gunawardena says that the decision to extend school hours by one hour has been temporarily suspended.
Schools under the purview of the government had previously been instructed to extend the daily school hours by one hour for the academic term commencing from April 18.
However, the minister said that a decision has now been taken to temporarily suspend that move.
Meanwhile the Education Minister said that first school term for the year 2022 of all government schools will resume tomorrow (April 18).
Meanwhile, the new school year 2022 will commence tomorrow (18).
The Ministry of Education had earlier decided to extend the school hours by one hour to cover the syllabus due to the late start of the academic year.
However, the Ministry of Education announced today that the decision will be temporarily suspended.
It is said that this decision has been taken as there is a possibility of obstructing the student transport activities due to the fuel problem.
