Southern Province Governor Bandula Harischandra says that strict disciplinary action will be taken against principals and teachers who illegally collect money from school children in the Southern Province.
The Southern Province Governor said that despite the fact that schools have been informed not to collect money by harassing school children and parents, some principals and teachers continue to collect money illegally.
It is also reported that some principals are collecting the money through friendly parents, and some parents have also complained that they cannot afford the money collected for various programs and events, the Southern Province Governor said.
Accordingly, some schools in the Southern Province have been strongly advised to stop several instances of such money collection. The Southern Province Governor further said that he will continue to monitor those schools.
