Deputy Education Minister S. Radhakrishnan said last night that the GCE A/L examination in August will have to be postponed as a result of the August 17 Parliamentary elections.

“We were in the process of making initial preparations to conduct the GCE A/L examination in August as scheduled but we will have to delay the examination now,” he said.

The Education Ministry will decide a convenient date for students, teachers and officials to conduct the examination after consulting the Education Minister and officials, he added.(SAJ)

Why it is delaying. Education has nothing to do with politics. The authority should allow students to study and sit for exams otherwise they have to go to university late. These are issues of the country but not the rubbish politics.

Delay elections - unjustice for the students - extremely poor poor move by the authorities - and it shows they only worry about themselves - the cutouts the sound pollution and so many other distraction before and during the exam cannot be ruled out -
