November 27, Colombo (LNW): The Department of Examinations has confirmed that the 2025 G.C.E. Advanced Level examinations, set to take place today and tomorrow, have been temporarily suspended due to the worsening weather-related emergency unfolding across the country.
Commissioner General of Examinations, AKS Indika Kumari Liyanage, said the decision was made after assessing the widespread disruption caused by heavy rain and flooding, noting that the safety of students and examination staff must take precedence. She assured candidates that revised exam dates will be announced once conditions stabilise.
In addition, the Department has instructed provincial and zonal education authorities, along with those overseeing regional collection centres and examination coordination hubs, to take extra precautions to safeguard all examination materials.
Officials have been asked to ensure that question papers already distributed to centres remain secure and protected from any potential weather damage.
Authorities emphasise that updates will be communicated promptly as the situation evolves.
