O/Level exams are over. Whilst awaiting results, what crucial decisions will you make that will mould your child's future? This is the point where parents question the three main options available in Sri Lanka.
Continue with local A/Levels? This takes three or more years of continuous study, a highly competitive final exam to gain entrance to local university with no guarantee of the preferred degree. Statistics show that a shocking 93% of A/Level students will not be offered a placement in local university.
The second option is to follow London AL in an international school and after two years of study and exams with adequate A/Level results, pursue university education overseas, most popularly in the UK, US or Australia.
The latest addition to these options is joining a university foundation programme. Foundation programmes which have been developed by elite universities are internationally recognized and enable students after O/Levels to complete foundation studies in 1 year and directly transfer overseas for further studies. Foundation programmes have been delivered globally for over 20 years and are becoming increasingly popular among Sri Lankan parents and students due its time saving of over 2 Years compared to A/Levels which would take approximately 3 years of study.
Likewise, foundation programmes provide an alternative to A/Level students who did not achieve their desired results to enter university .
