Sri Lankan Higher
Education Ministry would not be able to admit extra number of students for
2012/2013 Academic year.
Higher Education
Ministry Secretary Dr. Sunil Jayantha Navaratne said that UGC had decided to
admit an additional 5,609 students to universities following a Supreme Court for
2011/2012 but it couldn’t be continued thereafter without improving necessary
facilities.
The Supreme Court
ordered the UGC to admit an additional 5,609 students to universities after
solving the ‘Z-score’ crisis. Due to this additional intake, about 27,000
students would be admitted to Sri Lankan Universities based on the GCE (A/L)
results 2011. It was a 25 per cent increase.
However, Inter
University Students’ Federation (IUSF), have been insisting that the increased
intake be continued for the 2012 A/L batch as well.
Convener of the IUSF
Sanjeewa Bandara said that according to GCE (A/L) results released last
Wednesday, over 6,500 candidates obtained 3As in the commerce stream, but
normally less than 5,000 students from that stream were admitted to universities
annually.
“During previous
years, even those who obtained two As and one B could enter university, whereas
this year, it seems even those who have got three As will not be able to enter
a state university due to restrictions on admissions,” he said.
