The students who obtained the first and second places and the island ranks during the recently announced  2020 GCE Advanced Level (A/L) examination results will not be published this year, the Examination Commissioner General Sanath B. Pujitha said.

Addressing the media he said the publishing of the best student grading methodology has been suspended following a decision taken in 2019 on the recommendation of an expert psychological counselling council.

Accordingly, the recent A/L examination results will be considered only as a performance test but not for grading or announcing island ranks, he said.
  
"District and all-island ranks will only come to play during university admissions. The decision was taken due to the intense competition that currently exists and that will directly affect the mentality of the students who were selected or not to enter universities," Mr. Pujitha said.

The re-scrutinization of results will be done after the reopening of schools through an online system for both school and private applicants, he said.

The re-scrutinization of results will be announced through newspapers and other media advertisements in the future, he added. (Chaturanga Samarawickrama)

    Understood Sir. Now we have daily ranking on Covid which is more than sufficient to keep us worrying.

    This will be a big hit for the tution 'class' business because they are waiting to go to town with 'island best' results!

    So so long the ranks were published, was all that wrong? All those students mentally affected?? Are you mentally affected??

    A good decision Sir. A/ L creates unwanted competition among students which is useless. It just merely increases the income of private class providers. I got advanced level first rank in my district but it added no value to my life.
