“School heads should not permit students to participate in sporting activities in the scorching sun.”
That is the advice issued by the Minister for Education, National Heritage, Culture and Arts, Dr. Mahendra Reddy.
Dr. Reddy is calling on teachers and students to be mindful of this drought season and students should carry water bottles to schools and to continue drinking water to avoid dehydration.
He also said here has been some rain over the weekend and I hope that the schools have fetched water to sustain them for some time until assistance arrives to their schools.
He added that district education officers nationwide continue to monitor the situation and provide constant updates to the Ministry of Education with situational reports.
