Deputy Minister of Education, Dr. Madura Seneviratne, announced that a new circular will soon be issued to address longstanding flaws in the school admission process. The circular is designed to introduce clear and standardized guidelines, ensuring that only the most eligible students are admitted based on merit and transparency.
Dr. Seneviratne emphasized that the new policy aims to eliminate illegal and unfair admission practices that have undermined the credibility of the education system in recent years. He stressed that this is a critical step toward restoring fairness and public trust in school admissions.
In addition, the Deputy Minister revealed that a separate, updated circular specifically for Grade 1 admissions is expected to be released next week. Together, these initiatives represent a broader effort by the Ministry to streamline and regulate admissions across all grade levels.
