    Idiocasy in Sri Lankan Education and Public Administration at the highest. The commanwealth Leader in this country now should take note of this. All that is told to you is not what it is in reality.

    Amila Thursday, 13 September 2012 06:46 AM

    Enroll them to some other course in Higher education. Private universities a good solution for future.

    Ruwan Thursday, 13 September 2012 07:08 AM

    Now from A/L stage, students have to go under courts and streets. then in Uni.. No future in education. Next victim would be O/L result?

    Very sad but this is not the end of the world..... Be strong and there are many opportunities awaits you! You have to adjust your self accordingly.....

    ransam Thursday, 13 September 2012 06:08 AM

    If they are going to accommodate 500 additional this year, will they increase the intake by 5000 next year? If resources are enough for additional 5000 this year, it should be enough for next year also

    Arachchi Thursday, 13 September 2012 05:49 AM

    Very true...!

    Die Agent Thursday, 13 September 2012 06:12 AM

    sit again and do the exam and pass,

    mendis Thursday, 13 September 2012 06:00 AM

    What's the punishment for the culprits?

    When the culprits are not punished now, system will further deteriorate in future.

    Kautilya Thursday, 13 September 2012 06:07 AM

    What a mess.The worst ever catastrophe that happened to hopeful innocent young lives in my life time.

    mali Thursday, 13 September 2012 06:02 AM

    Children are our future,
    They study as long 13 years to achieve these heights,
    This all destroyed for simple reason,
    How they will feel? How far they heart break?
    For our political leaders!
    Please do at least something for them

    hrm Thursday, 13 September 2012 06:02 AM

    so sad but this (exams) should not be the end of the world young sisters/brothers. Try hard, think out of the box and put your effort to an alternative. Good luck !

    hello Thursday, 13 September 2012 05:40 AM

    Dinesh Thursday, 13 September 2012 04:56 AM

    Ladies and gentlemen...you are looking at a future freedom fighters in arms (in the western world they are called "terrorist")

    Sri Lanka has experienced this in the past. 30 years of civil war, tens of thousands of life lost. Economy in ruins etc.....

    Dreams shattered, hopes vaporize...few pull out of it others god knows......

    nalaka Thursday, 13 September 2012 05:18 AM

    feel sorry for them after all they must have studied really hard to get to the university

    A student Thursday, 13 September 2012 04:46 AM

    Whatever the final outcome of the Supreme Court decision is, this Government cannot deny the responsibility of messing up the process.
