A/Level classes commence, aim to prevent children idling
View(s):Commencing Advanced Level classes just after the Ordinary Level examinations would remedy the delay in the examination and term time tables caused by recurrent school closures, Education Minister Dr Susil Premajayantha said.
He said the Ministry took on the challenging task of starting classes immediately as otherwise students would miss education for a prolonged period.
He was speaking at the commencement of Advanced Level classes at Nalanda College, Colombo.
The move would bring normalcy to school term time tables. The decision was made after discussions with educationalists and experts of many fields. This would stop students from staying at home without any work, he said.
Classes have started in the Arts, Commerce and Science streams.
The move is in accordance with teaching guidelines and with the consent of students. He estimated that when the Ordinary Level exam results are released there could be a 5-10 percent change in the number of students engaging in Advanced Level studies.
As there are two sets of Advanced Level students engaging in studies in schools there would be temporary issues such as space and physical issues for a period of three months.
Teachers would face problems in subject time tables, he acknowledged, and directed the school administration to manage the situation without making it a problem for students.
