President orders to print omitted history chapters
[18 Apr 2000]

President Chandrika Kumaratunga has ordered the National Education Institute (NIE) to print omitted history chapters of the Year Nine Sinhala School Textbooks as booklets and distribute them among schools.

Several Sinhalese Organisations had protested strongly when they found the relevant chapters of Anagarika Dharmapala and two poems of Ven. Tibet S. Mahinda and Mahagama Sekara had been taken out of the Year Nine Sinhala Language text book.

The organisations had protested after the All Island Tamil Teachers Association protested about the Tamil medium Year Seven Social Studies and History text book.
