The Indian Ocean island nation prepares for a full reopening of all schools, universities, and higher education institutes in an effort to avoid a slump in the education system in the country. Education institutions have been closed for nearly six months of strict restrictions due to the spread of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Meanwhile, Sri Lankan School teachers and principals are currently on strike for nearly 100 days demanding solutions to their long-standing salary issues. EPA/CHAMILA KARUNARATHNE
