November 30, Colombo (LNW): The Department of Examinations has declared that the 2025 G.C.E. Advanced Level Examination, together with every other assessment scheduled for the period, has been postponed without a new date being set.
The announcement comes as the country continues to grapple with severe weather-related devastation.
Commissioner General of Examinations, Indika Liyanage, explained that the decision was unavoidable, given the scale of the disaster currently unfolding across multiple regions.
He noted that persistent power cuts and interruptions to communication networks have left students, parents, and teachers struggling to obtain reliable information, resulting in a surge of calls and messages to the department.
In light of the confusion and the ongoing challenges, the department has reiterated the postponement publicly to ensure that all candidates are fully aware of the situation.
Liyanage added that fresh dates would be announced only when conditions stabilise sufficiently to conduct examinations safely and uniformly across the country.
