Children admitted to a girl’s school using forged documents

It has been found out that more than 180 children had been admitted to a girl’s school in Kandy by using letters on which the signature of the Central Province Additional Education Director had been forged.

The education office of the province said the additional director had never requested any school authority in the area to accept any child into any school.

The fraud has been going on since 2018 according to the provincial education office sources.

The fraud was revealed in an audit inquiry conducted by the provincial education office.
