Bold accusations from inside a leading Colombo school raise troubling questions about accountability, silence, and whether authority figures failed to act when concerns were first raised.
Several teachers have lodged a formal complaint with Borella Police against the principal of the former student leader of Nalanda College Colombo, alleging that repeated warnings about the student’s conduct were ignored.
According to the complaint, teachers had raised concerns on multiple occasions about behavior they say made them uncomfortable. These concerns were reportedly communicated to the principal of the primary division, the teacher in charge of the student leader board, and the school principal himself. Despite these internal complaints, no corrective or disciplinary action was taken.
Frustrated by the lack of response, the teachers have now turned to the police, requesting an official investigation into why the original complaints were not addressed. The case has sparked renewed debate over school governance, safeguarding responsibilities, and whether institutional silence allowed misconduct to go unchecked. As investigations begin, pressure is mounting on school authorities to explain their inaction.
