It has been decided that the Grade 05 Scholarship Examination and the G. C. E. Advanced Level Examination for the year 2021 will not be held in August this year, the Department of Examinations stated.

Commissioner-General of Examinations Sanath Poojitha said that this decision was taken on the instructions of the Minister of Education at a recent discussion.

Previously, the A/L examination and the Grade 5 Scholarship examination were held in August every year.

However, it has not been possible to conduct the examinations as scheduled due to the disruption of academic activities in schools caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Meanwhile, the second phase of the first school term will begin tomorrow (15).

Minister of Education Prof. G. L. said that grades 5, 11, and 13 of schools in the Western Province will reopen tomorrow.
