Sri Lanka to Revamp Education System: Exams to be advanced, Pre-Grade Program & More Zonal Offices

State Minister for Education Arvindh Kumar said that reform entails advancing the General Certificate of Education Advanced Level exam to Grade 12, preceding Grade 13, and advancing the General Certificate of Education Ordinary Level exam, currently held in Grade 11, to Grade 10.

He made this statement during the media briefing at the Presidential Media Centre, held under the theme “Collective Path to a Stable Country.”

He added that the government is poised to introduce a “Pre-Grade” program before Grade One, recognizing the cognitive abilities of today’s children and their rapid learning potential.

State Minister Kumar said that as part of enhancing the education sector, the government plans to increase the number of zonal education offices from around 100 to 120, facilitating better governance and oversight.
