Minister of Education Susil Premajayantha emphasized that the calling of applications for the admission of students to G.C.E. Advanced Level classes in schools based on the results of 2022 G.C.E. Ordinary Level Examination are required to be carried out by the schools as per the related circular.

Speaking in this regard during today’s (12) parliamentary session, he said that if the school in which a student is currently studying does not have the relevant subject stream they are applying for, those students will be given priority in admission other schools.

“The Principal of the school must confirm that the school in which the student appeared for the O/L examination does not have the required subject stream or the combination of subjects for the Advanced Level education”, he expressed.

“As an example, there are 182 students of Ananda College, Colombo who have obtained 9As at the examination and there are 206 students of Visaka College, Colombo with 9As. In such a situation, priority should be given in applying from another school only if a child who has the relevant set of required qualifications but does not have the subject stream within his/her current school or the education zone”, the Minister added.
