However, the Education Ministry does not seem to have taken  any measures to curb such activities from recurring in schools yet,” CTU  General Secretary Joseph Stalin said.          According to Mr. Stalin a large number of schools including national  schools are carrying out money collections charging substantially large  sums of money from each student. He pointed out that the most recent  incident of money collection occurred in several schools for the  printing of papers for the second term test.          “The Education Ministry has issued several circulars prohibiting the  money collection from students. Instead of reinforcing the circular  regulations and ensuring that such incidents are curbed, the Minister  himself seems to be encouraging such activities,” said Mr. Stalin.          Education Ministry Additional Secretary Hemantha Premathilake declined to comment on the issue.     <a href="http://www.dailymirror.lk/index.php/news/5703-free-education-system-threatened.html" target="_blank">Dailymirror</a></blockquote>
