Some 300 monks from the Student's Union of the Buddhist and Pali University are currently on a protest march in Nugegoda. The march began at the Sri Jayawardena University and will proceed to the University Grants Commission in Colombo. A convener for the Student's Union said they were marching in protest against the authorities’ failure to address the issues in the university education system in the country. “They have failed to hear us and address our problems. The freedom of students is gradually diminishing. If they won't hear our calls for support, then we shall continue to protest,” he said. (Olindhi Jayasundera)
