Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Presiding Member, the Member has raised this principals’ issue multiple times — perhaps the third time. As I know, inquiries are underway. Also, your Leader of the Opposition addressed Grade 1 students calling “friends” and so on — those instances too should be examined. Schools have been politicized in many ways.
