Teaching staff in schools devotes their time and effort to enable students to achieve good results at examinations, said Local Government and Provincial Councils Minister A. L. M. Athaullah.

It is the responsibility of teachers to prepare students for examinations, he said.

The minister was addressing a ceremony at Akkaraipattu Munawwara Junior College to honour students and staff on the achievement of good results at examinations.

The minister was the chief guest. Principal of the school A. G. Anver presided the ceremony.

Being educated at Munawwara College up to G.C.E (O/L) will help students obtain good results at G.C.E. (A/L) examinations in other colleges, said the Principal. Students passing out from the school will help raise the standard of other schools at G.C.E.(A/L).

The Central College in Akkaraipattu will be able to earn a good name because of the students of Munawwara, the Principal said.

"We can not easily forget the good old days of school life. When we meet friends, we discuss our school days when teachers worked hard and also tried to raise funds to get resources for the school, he said.

The minister said he is happy to note that the teaching staff at Munawwara is co-operative and extend full co-operation to the Principal to discharge his duties. "When compared with other schools in the Eastern Province, Munawwara Junior College has achieved good results.

Forty seven students of this college have scored good results at the Grade 5 scholarship examination held in 2012," said the minister.
