The Hon. Kins Nelson
Kins Nelson raised concerns about inadequate security staffing in schools, noting that one or two guards working 12-hour shifts leave schools unprotected for part of the day. He cited the theft of a drinking water motor at Vilayaya National School in Aralaganwila, Polonnaruwa, and asked whether the Ministry would investigate and use allocated funds to address the shortage of school security staff.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, my first supplementary: Some schools have only one security guard, some have two. A security guard works 12 hours a day; even with two, the school is unprotected for 6 hours. Problems have arisen as a result. At Vilayaya National School in Aralaganwila, Polonnaruwa, even the motor used for drinking water was stolen. That school has only two guards. Will the Ministry look into this and take steps? You allocated large sums under your Head. Will you address this security staff issue?
