On Monday (19), Sri Lanka’s Education Minister announced the dates of two key examinations in Sri Lanka for 2021. The GCE Advanced level examination will be held from the 15th of November to the 10th of December. However, the opposition questioned if it is possible for teachers to complete the Advanced Level syllabus within a few months, given that practical examinations and term examinations have not taken place in a proper manner. The Opposition Leader said it is wise to decide on examinations after completing the syllabus for Grade 05 and Advanced Level. He said there will be no practical examinations for Advanced Level and only practical learning will take place.
