Schoolchildren have been granted the facility to travel this month on Sri Lanka Transport Board buses using the November season ticket.
Accordingly, Deputy Minister of Transport Prasanna Gunasena stated that the concession can also be obtained by presenting last month’s travel pass.
The move comes as schools that were closed due to the recent disaster situation are scheduled to reopen tomorrow.
Accordingly, the Ministry of Education has decided to convene principals, teachers, and non‑academic staff today (15) to prepare for the reopening process.
The Ministry further stated that 147 schools affected by the disaster will not reopen tomorrow.
It also announced that a relaxed policy regarding official uniforms will be followed for students, academic, and non‑academic staff in areas impacted by the disaster. (Newswire)
