Provincial Education Directors have been empowered by the Ministry of Education to decide on school openings tomorrow (21) in districts affected by adverse weather. This directive comes amidst reports of heavy rainfall across the country, particularly in the Central and Sabaragamuwa regions. School principals in affected areas are now authorized to independently assess local weather and safety conditions, including risks like flooding and landslides, before determining whether classes will proceed. Parents and guardians are advised to stay vigilant and follow official announcements from their respective schools.
