The Sri Lankan Army should leave the preschools it runs across Vanni and Kilinochchi, the Northern Provincial Council decided in a vote this week.
In a resolution passed at the NPC's 55th session, members called for army personnel to withdraw from preschools currently being run by the C.S.T army wing.
Over 18,000 children are reported to be studying in these army-run schools.
Tamil children should be able to learn their language and culture, and teachers should be able to teach free from army control, the resolution said.
