In future to sit Advanced Level no Ordinary Level required

The Minister of Education Akila Viraj Kariyawasam had added when speaking at 'Ape Gama' Battaramulla that in future any student who had studied for a period of 13 years continuously

could sit for the  GCE Advanced Level examination in the subjects he  prefers irrespective of the fact he had passes GCE Ordinary Level or not.

In his speech he had added that every year about 90,000 students have to give up education as they cannot sit for the GCE Advanced Level examination. By this change those students who fail the GCE Ordinary Level could sit for the Advanced Level examination without terminating the school education abruptly.
