The Sri
Lankan government will change the university and school education structure
with a view to bringing down the age for university admission from the present
20 years to 16 and age for school admission to four years, Higher Education
Minister S.B. Dissanayake said.
He said this was being done to be in line with
the educational systems prevailing in many other countries in the world.
“Through
the new system the students will get to sit the GCE O/L examination when they
are in grade-10 and the GCE A/L when they are in grade-12,” the minister said.
As agreed by all the Vice Chancellors and
higher educational officials at a workshop held recently, the age of school
admission will be reduced to four, while one of the grades between 7 and 10
will be abolished. Therefore the students will get to enter universities by the
age of 16 and pass out at a maximum age of 21.
