Considering the severe fuel shortage, the Education Ministry has decided not to open schools in the Colombo Zone and city schools across all provinces till 1 July.

The decision has been reached given the difficulties faced in fuel distribution and transportation.

However, the Ministry said that schools not located in cities and rural areas will open as usual if the students and teachers do not face difficulties due to transportation issues.

In the event such a problem persists, the Ministry has instructed schools to operate only on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursdays.

In addition, teachers with transportation issues in the said schools should be given flexible timetables by the principal, without penalising their holidays.

The Ministry also said if any G.C.E. Ordinary Level term examinations have been scheduled to be held from today onwards, they should be postponed for two weeks.
