Universities islandwide will be reopened, according to a statement from the University Grants Commission (UGC).
According to UGC Chairman Prof. Sampath Amaratunga, all universities would start their academic programs in September.
Prof. Sampath Amaratunga added that the decision was made due to the sense of normalcy that is currently pervasive throughout the nation.
Due to the nation’s fuel crisis, state universities were temporarily shut down. This had a significant impact on student and academic staff transportation.
