The Department has informed the possibility of conducting the GCE (OL) examination overseas to the Sri Lanka's Permanent Mission of to the UN in Geneva.

"It is learnt that a considerable number of expatriates are working abroad, especially in Middle East countries. The children of these expatriates may be studying at international schools and appearing for foreign examinations, while some students may wish to take G.C.E (O.L) Examination with the prescribed subjects or part thereof. The Department of Examinations, according to its mandate that enable conducting and certifying all public-school examinations, has informed about the possibility to conduct G.C.E (O.L) Examination overseas in the future" the Mission said in its website.

Very confusing. Children going to private schools in Lanka write London O/L and A/L.

Seems another gimmick. No ranks for local students thereafter. All who sat overseas will get through 100%. I believe there are many more things to do in the sector before going to this level.Start work on ground level first pls.

Why export a form of enslavement and punishment for our children?

If they study at international schools they will go for foreign exams.Of course the examiners will be glad to get these free trips but it will become very costly. via DM Android App

Most expats wish to mingle in the international community by doing foreign examinations, so why are you determined to spoil their future?

Oops! qualified the GCE O/L , A/L and even graduates who did Sri Lankan examinations have chosen the preferred PROFESSION as THREE WHEELER DRIVERS. So, do you want to have Sri Lankan three-wheel culture abroad where our expats live?
