From 2018 onwards, even students who fail the GCE O/L examination will be given an opportunity to sit the GCE A/L, Education Minister Akila Viraj Kariyawasam said today.
He told those gathered at a function held at the Education Ministry that students who sit the GCE O/L examination next year will be the first batch of students to benefit from this move.
The minister said the earlier requirement that students should obtain pass marks in Mathematics or obtain pass marks in the minimum number of subjects at the O/L examination would not to be mandatory when it came to sit the GCE A/L examination.
“This decision will enable students admitted to grade 1 to continue through grade 13 without any hindrence,” he said.

A very good move. This will give an opportunity to talented students to pursue in their field provided the opportunities in A/L stream is widen with technical other education. This would also further build a knowledge based society. However values of free education should be taught to avoid some of our best who qualify A/L and attend universities selfish at times.

Its a very good idea!If the students fail try to pass o/l again and again what are they going to achieve? what the hell status does o/l have?

This system must be there, different people has different talents. India is over coming this problem but allowing all to have qualifications.
OMG Thursday, 22 September 2016 11:33 AM
hahaha, spot on.

It has become a habit with Ministers to make a mockery of education. The Ministers of the past and the present amply prove this.Why cannot they leave education to learned educationists without making mess of it.Please Minister Akila, keep your ideas to yourself.
nan Thursday, 22 September 2016 09:48 AM
next move -anyone can do a degree without any qualification
ams Thursday, 22 September 2016 09:20 AM
This will lower our education and becomes like 'Indian Degree'...
Kaboos Thursday, 22 September 2016 08:48 AM
