School children will be required to decide their stream of study for the Advanced Level Examination at Grade 9, instead of waiting till they get their Ordinary Level Examination results from 2013 onwards, Minister Bandula Gunawardane said today.

Minister Gunwardane told the Daily Mirror that the Ministry would announce the decision to the police in this regard next year. In this respect, he said, students have to study six core subjects and three optional subjects related to their chosen stream of study for the Advanced Level Examination. (Kelum Bandara)
