Colombo, April 29 (Daily Mirror) - Students sitting for the GCE Ordinary Level (O/L) Examination will start the GCE Advanced Level (A/L) classes immediately after their exams, Education Minister Susil Premajyantha said.
While participating as the chief guest at the launch of the official internet radio channel of the National Institute of Education (NIE Visual Radio) at the Maharagama National Institute of Education, the Minister said the decision was taken due to the closure of schools during the last Covid pandemic and according to the programme to cover up missed studies and school examination schedules.
The aim of action is to prevent undue delays, such as possible delays for schoolchildren to enter the university, and to restore the studies that were missed during the last Covid period.
The Minister said that therefore everyone's support and dedication are essential to make this successful.

This is impractical for two reasons: Firstly, students will be suffering mental fatigue. Secondly, one has to actually QUALIFY to be promoted to Advanced Level education. This is an unnecessary waste of tax payers' money and worse, it will be distressing for a student to embark on an A/L syllabus only to learn that they haven't actually qualified to be there. What are our Ministers thinking?
