The most crucial and decisive stage of a child's education is passing through the Advanced Level examination which burdens their minds with lots of theories and knowledge. But if we as parents come to the conclusion that passing through their Advanced Level examination is the end of a child's educational path, it would be a grave mistake. Today the business world is as competitive as ever, what is important now is knowledge that should be competent enough to meet the rising demands of society. So the prime responsibility of a parent or guardian whose child faced the most competitive A/L examination is to choose a professional qualification as their next step for education which would adequately carve their potential with knowledge and competency.
