The school, Nagarkovil Maha Vidyalayam, was bombed by the Sri Lankan air force on September 22 1995, while children were crammed in the playground for their lunch break. 40 were killed in the attack including 26 students.
The TNPF paid tribute to those killed in the bombing, as well as to those massacred in Mullivaikkal.
We need your support
Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
