The Jaffna Students Consortium (JSC) Monday continued boycott of schools ignoring the requests from the Sri Lanka Army (SLA) command from Palaly to return to schools, student sources in Jaffna said.

JSC launched a peninsula wide boycott of schools starting from September 9 stating that "Students will continue their struggle and abstain from schools until the Sri Lanka Army (SLA) respects students' education and facilitates creating an environment conducive for education."

Schools in Jaffna remained open without students, sources in Jaffna said.
