Nasheed then went on to highlight the fact that out of the schools which were closed due to the tsunami of 2004, schools of Kandholhudhoo and Vilufushi still have not been able to produce the results they were showing before.
In addition to this, Nasheed said that thoughts must be given to the negative effect of schools conducted through the means of the internet. Report cards were also issued online this year and the government has given no indication on whether schools will be commenced in the normal manner when the school year restarts again in January.
