Pivithuru Hela Urumaya leader Udaya Gammanpila has accused the current government of attempting to politicize the school system similarly to its alleged politicization of university education. Gammanpila made these comments during a press conference held in Colombo today (11).
He cited an example from a recent Advanced Level Second Semester Examination at a school in the Kalutara district, where he claimed the first five questions in the general public test paper were related to the National People’s Power, suggesting a political bias in the education system.
