The annual school ball games held in the first term may not take place this year due to the financial crisis in the education sector.
National Parents Association (NPA) and principals said, this could lead to anarchy in public schools, as for years games have been used to keep the students occupied.
Reports indicate that schools have received a paltry 25 per cent of the capitation without a circular from the Ministry of Education, sparking anxiety.
In the last month, public schools have warned that they could be forced to close early due to lack of funds despite the assurance by the government that capitation would be released.
