O/Level examinations are over. As responsible parents you must make a serious decision about your child’s future in the next few weeks. In today’s competitive employment market A/Level results don’t guarantee success. Increasing number of international universities have options for direct admission for students with O/Level qualifications. Today a university degree after O/Levels has become the popular choice for smart parents who want their children to have a head start in the employment sector. The following section explains the options available for an O/Level student, and the opportunities that are offered by each.
Options after O/Level examinations
There are many options for student after their O/Levels. However many students don’t make the maximum from the opportunities and loose the advantage over their peers. Since education and career choices are affected by this decision, parents and other stakeholders must help students to make the best choice. It’s quite unfortunate to see that many don’t realize the seriousness of this decision, or make hasty decisions. Students after O/Levels have few options.
Local A/Level study stream is ideal for those students who wish to enter local university system in Sri Lanka. However limited opportunities and resulting high competition has made local university admission difficult for many students. Edexcel and Cambridge A/Level examinations are suited for students who prefer to seek admission into overseas universities. However the high cost of studying in overseas and the increasing admission criteria has made this option increasingly difficult. Its common practice to see students after O/Level joining short term programs (Diploma and Certificate Level) in English, Computing and other similar areas. This might fill the time gap between the O/Level examinations to A/Level class start but does not deliver any real academic value
University admission after O/Levels
Increasing number of forward thinking parents consider direct university admission for their children after O/Levels. This is not a phenomenon not only seen in Sri Lanka, but also many international universities today accept students with O/Level qualifications into their university programs. This allows students to acquire the necessary skills and expertise demanded by the industry. Students are welcome to join with pending results to save time.
