The Advanced Level results which were released late last night contain errors in the calculation of district and island ranks. Sources at the ministry of education stated that there is a strong possibility of the results that were issued being suspended.
There have been many reports from the different parts of the country that even the Z score and the results of certain students are erroneous. The Examination ministry previously stated that only the rankings were inaccurate. Some students allege that they have recieved results for subjects they werent candidates for during the examinations held in August.

Everyone knew there would be two syllabi this year since two or more years ago - when the new syllabus was introduced. Still they all had to wait until the result announcement date to realize that there will be an issue with two different Z-scores, and yet they can't get it right.
You are playing with students lives, careers and their future. Can't you just be a bit more careful with these. Now the Education Minister can say again that he doesn't understand these. When will someone take responsibility.
WHAT ELSE CAN EXPECT FROM A FAILED STATE.
1.the Ministry was aware of the different syllabus's in use for 3 whole years.
2. The Ministry was also aware of the of the issues that would arise from these differences.
3. The Ministry was further aware of the technical issues in grading such an examination.
4. The various dates and deadlines that were given was false and misleading.
5. The errors created after the results were released - District Rankings and Island rankings were withdrawn
The news is disconcerting and displays complete and utter ignorance: It more over displays a complete disrespect towards the 250,000 odd students who sat for this examination.
Is this the sophistication of the education department?
The Minister is finally responsible that this errors should never have been committed and ought to dignify his situation with his immediate resignation.
Ministry of Education had failed the test!
first v had to do our O/L Maths paper twice 3 years ago, Then they postponed giving are A/L results so much that they were put out on Christmas day, NOW they are saying that the results they DID put out are incorrect!! What a JOKE!!!!
Just go ahead.

Desappremiya
have anyone of them passed AL?????????
The real test for the students is 'WAITING'. Not
the exam itself. I beg of the authorities to release
them soon without any further delays otherwise
there will be far reaching irreversible consequences.
Not only education department, all departments are paralyzed
Need a recllection of all marks given to each question and issue gradings and re issue z-score for each student.
Better if this could be done by a new set of people.
the true magnitude of the problem in hand?
Absolutly pathetic situation. In the end no body will be
held responsible.
I have never scored above 50% to a any subject in a Term Tests..Expected 3S`s..
MR please terminate the minister for the sake of good prosparous SL future..
it would be really great if results could be re-checked, for the greater good of everyone :)
Ayyooooooooo!
Will Greru be change this?? .....
In this technogical era how can this serious mistake
Examine department should be examined and
Organised !!!
many students will be prejudiced.
1. Data entry is faulty or
2. The query which has been designed to retrieve the data is faulty or
3. The database structure have been changed and they forgot to change the query to march the database.
Any how what has happened is simply happened. The authorities should be more careful on handling these kind of sensitive information.
EDUCATIONAL HUB OF ASIA (SL)
These are the top two JOKES OF THE CENTURY
Irresponsible government!!!!
1) Examination Dept made a mistake
2) Minister is very angry about it and warned the dept to be more careful
3) Minister intervined and ordered a full scale inquiry.
4) Educated people supports minister's decision and says it is SO GREAT for minister to think about the students
5) As usual we paste a sticker on our face as FULL TIME IDIOTS and wants our team perform better in South Africa ignoring a burning issue with our future generation.
6) Minister become HERO and Dept of Examination becomes VILLION
Thank You. Hope the match will start on time.
