This year, many Maoist affiliated PLA cadres are also taking the SLC exams from various open schools along with other regular students. Interestingly a Korean student is also taking the SLC exams from Nepal this year.

SLC has its own importance in the Nepali education system as it is taken as a gate-way for further education.

Issuing a press statement on Tuesday, the NHRC noted that it is everyone’s duty to respect children’s right to take the SLC exams in a violence and intimidation free environment.

The national rights watchdog has also appealed all stakeholders including political parties, rights activists and civil society organisations to help create a favourable environment for the exams to realise the concept of students as a zone of peace.

The Test series would be followed by a five-match ODI series starting from August 18 at the Dambulla international stadium.'I have asked Hashan to decide between politics and cricket. He should resign his political position if he needs to continue as the manager of the Sri Lanka Cricket team,' Minister Lokuge was quoted as saying in the local media.However, Tillakaratne said he had not been told anything by the minister and was asked by chairman of the Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) Arjuna Ranatunga to continue his 'day-to-day work as the manager'.'I was appointed by Arjuna and the present interim committee. I will continue as long as they want me to do so. Even now I am with the team at the practice session,' Tillakaratne told IANS Thursday.'The minister spoke to me Tuesday and he gave me his blessings. After that I have not heard anything from him,' the former captain added.Commenting on the controversy, a top SLC official said that the sports minister has told the SLC that 'any appointment by the SLC has to be finally ratified by him as he is the man who is in-charge of sports'.'He wanted the SLC to send Hashan's appointment letter to him for this ratification. We have sent it to his ministry and have not got any reply so far,' the SLC official said Thursday evening requesting anonymity.Tillakaratne (41), currently holds the position of an electoral organizer for the main opposition United National Party (UNP) in the district of Colombo. Lokuge coming from the same area himself is a member of the UNP and one of its 17 dissidents who joined the government run by the rival United People's Freedom Alliance (UPFA).Ranatunga, the chairman of Sri Lanka Cricket, is also an MP from the ruling party led by President Mahinda Rajapaksa.
