In the past few days, there have been reports of students fainting during school morning meetings in various parts of the island.
These incidents were reported in schools in Vilachchiya, Thanthirimale and Minuwangoda.
This was also discussed in the parliamentary session today (22), and the members of the opposition parties asked the Minister of Education about these reports.
However, in response to the question, Health Minister Keheliya Rambukwella said that no information has been received about such an incident in the school mentioned.
Health Minister Keheliya Rambukwella also stated that he spoke to the principal of that school and that there had never been a case of such a child fainting.
To confirm that, the minister also released a voice tape of the principal of the school in question to Parliament, but Speaker Mahinda Yapa Abeywardena blocked it and said that only the members of parliament can address the parliament.
