The Secretary to the Education Ministry, Prof. Kapila Perera asserted that until the Director-General of Health provides new recommendations regarding students attending school, steps should be followed as implemented during the last school term.

Accordingly, if the number of students in a class is less than 15, all students are allowed to attend the schools daily, if the students are between 16-30, they are allowed to attend the school in two groups and if there are more than 30 students, they are allowed to attend in three groups.
