Approximately 450 students from nine schools representing Kathiraveli, Kattamurachankulam, Ammadanaweli, Panichankeni, Kayankeni, Madurankulam, Vakarai, Oddamavadi and Valaichenai areas attended the seminar.
A seminar was organised in the Sinhala medium for students under the Valaichenai Educational Division, who were facing the GCE O/Level examination this year.

Approximately 150 students from five schools representing the Seevenapitiya, Mannampittya, Welikanda, Aselapura and Singhapura areas participated in the seminar.
Teachers from Royal College and D.S. Senanayake Maha Vidyalaya contributed in enhancing the knowledge of these underprivileged children. English, Science and Mathematics were taught at this program.
