All schools operating within the Nuwara Eliya and Hatton education zones have been ordered to close their doors tomorrow owing to deteriorating weather conditions affecting the Central Province's highland areas.
The closure directive has been issued by provincial education authorities as a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of students, staff, and commuters navigating the region's mountainous terrain during hazardous weather.
The decision affects multiple educational institutions across both zones, disrupting regular academic schedules in these key highland districts. Parents and guardians have been advised to keep children at home during the closure period.
School administrations are expected to communicate directly with students and families regarding any changes to scheduled examinations or other academic activities. Further updates on the weather situation and potential reopening dates are anticipated from provincial authorities.
