Disciplined A/Ls in LTTE-controlled areas by Ananda Kannangara In LTTE controlled areas, the GCE Advanced Level Examination is being conducted with strict discipline compared to minor complaints received from other areas in the country, Examinations Department Commissioner Mahinda Wijesiri told the Sunday Observer. The Examination Chief said students in these areas strictly adhere to the rules and regulations laid down by the Examinations Department. Wijesiri said a record number of 240,653 candidates countrywide are sitting the GCE Advanced Level examination, which commenced on May 6. The examination will end on May 31. He said 198,848 school candidates applied for the examination while the rest were private candidates. "Our statistics also indicate that a large number of Buddhist monks from recognised pirivenas in the country will also sit for this year's examination," he said. The Examinations Chief also said that a staff of 45,000 have been deployed to function in 1765 examination centres countrywide while 267 co-ordinating centres were created for official purposes including to distribute question papers and stationery as well as to store answer scripts. It is said that paper marking will commence simultaneously with the examination to enable the Department to re-open schools on June 3. The first and second stages of paper marking will be held from May 23 to 26 and from June 5 to 21 respectively. |
