Al Manar National School (commonly known as Al-Manar College or simply as Al-Manar), Tamil: அல்-மனார் is a national school in Handessa, Kandy. It was founded 15 September 1892. It is one of the oldest Muslim schools established in Sri Lanka.[citation needed][1][failed verification][2][failed verification]

School

[edit]

The Al Manar National School was founded in 1892[3] as Pethiyagoda Tamil School in Thalawathura. It was later moved to Boowelikada in 1929 and named as Ketakumbura Tamil school, then in 1964 it was moved to its current location in Ambarapola. At that time the school was called Al Manar Maha Vidyalaya and later on in 1999 it was renamed Al Manar Central College (National School).[citation needed]
