Ministry of Education: Schools issued instructions on face covering clothing and helmets – [PHOTOS]

(FASTNEWS|COLOMBO) – The Ministry of Education has issued a letter to school principals to ensure that teachers and staff members comply with the Gazette prohibiting face covering clothing and certain motorcycle helmets that prevent the identification of a person. 

The move comes in the wake of several issues that had cropped up at some schools over the past couple of days due to people entering schools with full-face helmets and certain teachers attending school with face covering clothing, due to being unaware of legal provisions introduced under the prevailing emergency laws.
