Susil Premajayantha, the education minister, stated today in Parliament that the Commissioner General of Examinations will shortly announce whether or not the Advanced Level Examinations for this year will be postponed.
In response to Rohini Kaviratne, an SJB MP, who suggested moving the A/L exams to January of the next year, this declaration was issued.
The A/L Examinations were suggested to be held from January 22 to February 17 by MP Kaviratne.
She also suggested that the A/L results might be made public by May of the following year, and that the A/L tests might proceed as scheduled in October.
The Education Minister responded to MP Kaviratne by praising the initiative while emphasizing that the Commissioner General of Examinations has the final say.
He announced that he will ask the Commissioner General to make an announcement right away.
