The World Bank will provide US$ 10 million in July to
reconstruct and renovate school buildings damaged in the Eastern
Province.
Education Minister Susil Premajayantha told the Sunday Observer
that he had already directed Education Ministry officials to
carry out a survey on damaged schools in the Province.
It has been reported that a few schools and parts of some school
buildings in the Trincomalee, Ampara and Batticaloa districts
were destroyed due to the war situation and other calamities in
the past.
Minister Premajayantha said this situation has slightly
disrupted the educational activities in the Province and steps
will be taken to rectify the situation under the supervision of
the newly established Eastern Provincial Council.
When asked about the current position of the school educational
activities, the Minister said many damaged schools have been
already renovated and no children were isolated under any
circumstances. |
