Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa has requested the government to postpone the scholarship examination scheduled to be held on October 3 and the GCE Advanced Level examination scheduled to begin on October 4. In a statement, the Leader of the Opposition requested that the examinations be adjourned and given the opportunity to cover the syllabus. Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa said in a statement that the two examinations were being held in a situation where the children were facing severe mental distress. Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa says that the children are in a state of confusion as the school education and tuition classes have almost completely collapsed. The Leader of the Opposition said in a statement that the online education system is still foreign to many parts of the country and that more than 2,000 schools have no online facilities and that the government has so far failed to formulate a practical program to promote online education.
