School's History

 


         

This insitution Addalaichenai Central College, situated in Addalaichenai in Amparai district has produced many intellectuals, social leaders, sportsmen and artists in this region.

The insitution was founded on 1912.01.07 as the first Government school in the ea st coast of our island under the sheme of establishing Government school throughout the island in 1909. At the beginning, this school funtioned in a 20x40 hut thatched with cadjans with only a head master, C.G. Vairamuththu, and an assistant teacher As this was the first Government school in the island student from various religions such as Muslim, Hindus and Christians studied here.

After this its name was changed as "Sathana school" in 1942 and then as "Mahavidyalaya" as aresult of late Pottuvil electorate MP Dr.M.A.M.Jalaldeen's effort. Bessides he provided this college with various physical resources buildings, science laboratory water tank, etc.

This was a stepping stone to this school to meet many challenges in education. it is a significant time in the history of this area made a record in (G.C.E.O/L) Examination with distinction passes in all subject. In addition there is an evidence to prove that this insitution has reached a good educational progress producing many doctors, engineers, graduates and professionals.

However there were many more shortages of infrastructure in this school. The leader of Sri Lanka Muslim Congress ( SLMC ) late minister, M.H.M. Asraff immensely helped this colllege to rid of this scarcity by establishing new buildings and reconstructing he previous resources to mark the "National Meelad Ceremony" held in this school for the first time in the eastern province in 1997 Moreover this institution was upgraded to the status of "National School" in the same year. Since the National Meelad Ceremony was held at this college this occation is indeed a milestone in its history.

Now this school has over two thousand five hundred students and 110 teachers. in addition there are over 15 buildings inculuding five three story buildings, one, two stroied building one well equipped modern science laboratory. Meelad hall (assembly hall) agriculture room, and science room.
