The Eastern Province Tamil Teachers' Association (EPTTA) has demanded the Sri Lankan navy return two schools that were seized and turned into navy camps since 2006, reports Ceylon Today.
S Jeyarajah, the EPTTA General Secretary, met with the Sri Lankan State Minister for Education Radhakrishnan at his Colombo office and told of how the Sampur Maha Vidiyalayam and Sri Murugan Vidiyalayam in Muttur have been taken over by the Sri Lankan security forces.
This has forced 750 students to be attached to the Chennaiyoor Central College which has suffered from a severe shortage of classroom space said Mr Jeyerajah.
Last week hundreds of Tamil protestors demanded the Sri Lankan navy vacate the Sampur Maha Vidiyalayam school, which is currently located in a Sri Lankan military High Security Zone.
