Schools in the Western Division will continue with classes in the first week of the scheduled school holiday that begins from 30th April.

Ministry of Education permanent secretary Dr Brij Lal says this arrangement is vital so students can catch-up on their missed lessons.

Dr Lal says lessons have been delayed after the two floods and this option is taken to help the students.
