A/L results: Teachers, students to launch poster campaign

06 Jan 2012 - {{hitsCtrl.values.hits}}

Teachers and students will launch a countrywide poster and leaflet campaign from Monday demanding the withdrawal of the GCE Advanced Level results and the resignation of Education Minister Bandula Gunawardana.

The Ceylon Teachers’ Union (CTU) General Secretary Joseph Stalin said the only way out to resolve the GCE Advanced Level results fiasco was the total withdrawal of the Z-score and district and island rankings and issue a fresh set of results after they are properly reviewed and re-assessed.

He said the mandate of the Dhara Wijetilaka committee was not clear.

“The committee said it will obtain information from students but according to media reports the committee is to submit its report on Tuesday, which means there is no time to record statements from students. The presidential secretariat said the committee would probe blunder with regard to district rankings but Minister Gunawardana said the committee has been mandated to propose amendments to the Education Act of 1968. Whom are we to believe? Therefore, teachers, students, parents and the people have lost confidence in Minister Gunawardane, the education system under him and on this committee,” Mr. Stalin said.
