The re-scrutinised results of the 2011 G.C.E. Advanced Level Examination will be released by the Department of Examinations tonight, Education Minister Bandula Gunawardane said.

The Minister told the Daily Mirror that he instructed the Department to do so since the Supreme Court had delivered its ruling.

“We were ready with the results by May. Yet, the Attorney General asked us not to release them till the court ruling was  announced. Now, the ruling has been given. Therefore, there is no reason for us to delay the results,” he said.

Some 150,000 students applied for re-correction of results this time.  (Kelum Bandara)
