The Kandy Zonal Education Office has issued urgent student welfare and transport safety advisories to school heads and parents across highland divisions following the National Building Research Organisation's issuance of Level I and Level II landslide warnings.

With torrential monsoon downpours impacting mountain access roads in Nawalapitiya and Gampola, zonal officials have instructed school transport operators to avoid precarious hillside routes with history of cut-slope failure. School principals have been authorized to adjust classroom timetables and coordinate safe student departures during severe afternoon squalls, ensuring that children living near vulnerable slopes are safely escorted home.
