The JHU urged the minister to take action against those who are responsible for the Advanced Level results issue. Speaking to Daily Mirror online, the Deputy General Secretary of the JHU Udaya Gammanpila stated that the lack of early preparation on the part of the authorities resulted in the ensuing confusion. “The new syllabus was introduced two years ago and the authorities had ample time to formulate a comprehensive Z-score formula that was agreeable, the relevant authorities were aware of this for the past two years that this issue would crop up this year but they seem to have been negligent,” he said.

Gammanpiala went on to state that the JHU is hopeful that the minister of education would take necessary action against the persons who were negligent. “This issue has caused immense problems to the student community and we hope that relevant action will be taken against the perpetrators at the conclusion of the ongoing inquiry,” he said.(Hafeel Farisz)
