Though politicians and rulers
can supply buildings, electricity, drinking water, roads and the other
facilities for the student population, only the teachers can create a
better future for them, Sabaragamuwa Governor Janaka Priyantha Bandara
said. He was addressing a meeting after the re-opening of the R/Kopikella
Vidyalaya in the boundary of 'Sinharaja rain forest about 62 kilo metres
off the Kalawana town.
The decision was taken to re-open the school as a result of the
consideration of Governor, Bandara. The Governor said he has received
particulars related to 25 closed schools in the province and hope to
re-open them by the 2010.
Re-opening of this Vidyalaya is similar to closure of a number of
prisons, he said.
The Governor said it is a shame and sorry to mention a majority of
gender based crimes is reported from the Ratnapura district.
It is necessary to produce a well-balanced minded and law-abiding
citizens for the society through proper education to erase out this
situation.
