Susil Premajayantha, the Education Minister, addressed Parliament with crucial information regarding this year’s Advanced Level Examinations. The Education Minister disclosed that the Commissioner General of Examinations would soon provide clarity on whether the examinations will be postponed or not.
This announcement was prompted by a proposal put forth by Rohini Kaviratne, a Member of Parliament from the SJB. MP Kaviratne suggested postponing the A/L examinations to the following year, with proposed examination dates spanning from January 22nd to February 17th.
Moreover, MP Kaviratne outlined a plan where the A/L results could be released by May of the following year, allowing for next year’s A/L examinations to be conducted in October as per the usual schedule.
Responding to MP Kaviratne’s proposal, the Education Minister acknowledged the merit of the suggestion but underscored that the ultimate decision rests with the Commissioner General of Examinations. He expressed his intention to promptly request the Commissioner General to make an official announcement regarding the matter.
