The Inter University Students Federation (IUSF) launched a campaign to educate the public of their grievances by distributing handbills about their struggle, IUSF acting convener Sanjeewa Bandara said yesterday, while distributing handbills near the Fort railway station.

“We are answerable to the public; and this is our way of educating and increasing their awareness of our activities,” said Mr. Bandara. According to him this campaign will be carried out by their members in major cities and towns around the country.

The handbill goes on to explain their reason for their taking to the streets and their objectives, Mr. Bandara said. It also discusses the pressing issues in the secondary education sector while tackling the shortcomings of the government universities, he added.
