January 03, Colombo (LNW): The Commissioner General of Examinations, Amith Jayasundara, has urged students preparing for the 2023 G.C.E. Advanced Level examination to take note of a minor alteration in the timetable. Mr. Jayasundara clarified that the Department of Examinations had made revisions due to the inclusion of Korean Language as a new subject.
Students were cautioned against using previous exam timetables, as certain websites might display outdated information. Emphasizing the importance of relying on the amended timetable provided in the examination admission card, he stressed that this document contains accurate and updated scheduling information for each subject, including date, time slots, subject number, and medium of instruction.
Highlighting the convenience of this information on the admission paper, Mr. Jayasundara reassured students that it suffices for their reference, eliminating the need to seek additional timetable details elsewhere.
Addressing concerns about students in disaster-prone areas, the Commissioner General assured the implementation of a special program to arrange alternative examination centers, with priority given to regions like Anuradhapura, Kekirawa, Polonnaruwa, Passara, Ampara, Batticaloa, and Hasalaka.
In light of inclement weather affecting travel to examination centers, students were advised to seek assistance from the nearest Zonal Education Office or Disaster Management Units to ensure timely arrival at the exam venues.
