Still no solution for the primary section of Dabarella Vidyalaya – Two people fasting is critical
Jan 15, 2016
Although three days has been elapsed still no solution was given by the authorities for the fasting protest conducted by the parents who demanded to reinstate the primary section of the Dabarella Maha Vidayalaya in the Tangalle zonal education division. Parents said out of four parents who started the hunger strike the condition of two people are currently serious. Parents said although three days has elapsed no officers have come forwards for a discussion so far.
During the former regime under the privilege school mechanism in 2011 the parents said due to the removal of the primary section of the Dabarella Maha Vidyalaya the students had to walk four to five kilometers and reach other schools. The parents said their children’s have to walk pass looking at the previous school they studied and go to schools situated far away.
Therefore the parents urge the relevant authorities to reinstate the primary section in the Dabarella Maha Vidyalaya and to resolve their problem.
Tangalle zonal education director Channa Upali Weerasekara said this demand is not unfair. However he said when there are other primary schools in the same area it would be an unfair for those primary schools, if the primary section of the Dabarella Maha Vidyalaya is reinstated. He said the amount of money spent reinstating the primary section of the Dabarella Vidyalaya, it could be promoted to a secondary school.
However the parents lamented that no single step taken so far to develop the Dabarella Maha Vidyalaya. They emphasized still no proper teachers deployed for the advanced level subjects and the only irregularity done is removing the primary section.
