January 17, Colombo (LNW): The Ministry of Education has released the revised schedule for the second phase of the 3rd academic term of 2023 for government and government-approved private schools. The updated start date for this term is now set for Monday, February 05, 2024.
Originally, the Education Ministry had planned to commence the second phase on February 01, 2024. However, this date had to be rescheduled due to a decision made by the Examinations Department. The department opted to reconduct the Agriculture Science paper for the ongoing 2023 GCE Advanced Level Examinations on February 01, 2024. The decision was prompted by concerns of paper leaks on social media, leading to the nullification of both papers 1 and 2 of the Agriculture Science examination. Consequently, the Ministry of Education adjusted the academic term schedule to accommodate the changed examination dates.
