Colombo (LNW): The Department of Examinations has urged the university lecturers to assist in paper marking for the G.C.E. Advanced Level Examination, in response to the university lecturers’ strike action which about a day ago was called off without agreeing to engage in the paper marking process.
This comes in in the backdrop where more than fifty days have passed since the conclusion of the G.C.E. Advanced Level Examination.
Issuing a statement, the Exam Dept stressed that the country’s education system is falling behind, as paper marking of the AL Examination is yet to commence, adding that this may seriously affect the students who sat for the examination.
The Dept added that the paper marking process can commence if the university lecturers agree to rejoin paper marking, along with other teachers who have applied for the affair.
