2012 A/L Issue Sri Lanka

Problems have arisen over the results of Sri Lanka’s university entrance examination for the second consecutive year. Student unions and political parties are complaining of irregularities and inconsistent figures in the just-released 2012 results, in a new fiasco that they say is jeopardising the credibility of the exam system.
The influential Inter University Student Federation (IUSF) said it had found enough examples to prove inaccuracies in the results, in the standardised score known as the ‘Z-score’ and in student rankings.
IUSF Convener Sanjeewa Bandara said that there was an abnormal increase in the number of students who had obtained three ‘A’ passes in the commerce stream, yet many could not get into university, in part because there were not enough places.
According to results released in recent weeks, 6,471 students obtained ‘A’ passes in all three subjects required in the commerce stream. But only about 5,000 candidates from that stream will be able to gain university places.
Voice of Youth Organisation Convener Gayan Janaka said students who obtained the highest marks in the recent A-level examination have not gained places
“When a student obtains three A’s in the A-level exam they are certain that they can enter university. But due to the large number of students admitted this year as well as the high pass rate, many of these students who have worked so hard to get into university are very unlikely to be allowed in,” he said.
“Many students have lost the opportunity to get a higher education. About 220,000 sit the A-level examination every year but only 20,000 are admitted to universities. What happens to the rest of the 200,000? Don’t they have a right to an education?” Janaka asked.
However, Examinations Department Commissioner WMNJ Pushpakumara insisted the results were “100% accurate” and refuted as baseless the IUSF charges of miscalculations.
“A committee and special team were assigned to separately calculate these values and later compared [them] to ensure there were no miscalculations,” Pushpakumara said.
Last year thousands of Sri Lankan students and their parents protested against education officials’ incompetence after their standardised ‘Z scores’ were changed due to miscalculations after the rankings were released.
The Sri Lankan Supreme Court directed the University Grants Commission to admit additional students to local universities. Accordingly, an extra 5,609 students were admitted – a 25% increase over the normal intake.
The IUSF is urging the government once again to admit extra students to state universities.

Loans for Sri Lankan university students

The Sri Lankan government is taking measures to provide loans and financial assistance to the university students entering the universities for higher education.
Minister of Higher Education S.B. Dissanayeke states that loan facilities for students receiving higher education would be provided in future without placing property or persons as guarantee.
The government says students entering universities from low income families currently receive financial assistance through University bursaries or through the Mahapola Scholarship Fund but those funds are inadequate for their academic activities and professional courses.
Also they face numerous difficulties in obtaining bank Loans for their higher educational needs.
To alleviate the problem, Minister of Higher Education S.B. Dissanayake has proposed a new act called Human Capital Development Finance Act to provide bank loans to the needy students.
Under the proposed measure, the students from low-income families could obtain loans from banks for their academic activities.
Once they are employed after graduation, the students are mandatory required to pay back the loans through their prospective employers from their monthly salaries.
Speaking during a media briefing held today (February 14)Minister S B Dissanayeke said that a new bill called Human Capital Development Finance in this regard would be presented before parliament during the course of the next month.

Aptitude Tests Issue Sri Lankan Universities

The Sri Lankan universities are conducting aptitude tests without informing the candidates properly.
UGC handbooks issued in 2012 had not mentioned anything about aptitude tests. Due to this reason lot of students have unable to sit those exams assuming that aptitude tests will not be held.
Students who had qualified to enter university are deprived of the opportunity to do so as the universities are yet to inform them of the aptitude examinations that are conducted prior to them being admitted, and sitting this exam is a prerequisite to university admission.
The Ceylon Teachers' Service Union (CTSU) said students who are hoping to join the Uva-Wellassa University are unable to do so as they are not aware as to when the aptitude tests will be conducted.
In the years 2010 and 2011, the university handbook had mentioned that aptitude tests would be conducted prior to admitting new undergraduates. However, the handbooks for the years 2012 and 2013 had not mentioned anything about aptitude tests, thereby allowing students to assume that aptitude tests will not be held, CTSU General Secretary, Mahinda Jayasinghe averred.
Jayasinghe said " last October, certain newspapers carried a notice that aptitude tests would be held prior to admissions. Many people were unaware of the notice placed in the papers, and were therefore unable to sit for it. Students who sat for their GCE A/Ls for the third time and were successful have now lost the chance of entering university though they worked hard for it,".
Convener of the Inter University Students' Federation (IUSF), Sanjeewa Bandara, alleged that such incidents are not unique to the Uva-Wellassa University alone.
According to Sanjeewa Bandara, students who are hoping to enter the University of Peradeniya to follow courses which required them to get through the aptitude test have also been victimized as they too were not aware of aptitude tests being conducted.
"The practical exams were conducted without notifying the students, accordingly. We demand that exams be re-conducted, thus giving a fair chance to those who had missed out on sitting for the same. It is extremely unfair to everyone concerned,".

Notice to Students:

Students those who have issues and problems with Aptitude Tests can get further details from below mentioned Telephone numbers. Also students should send an appeal to the UGC.

Students should forward a written appeal to the UGC along with the documentary evidence in support of the appeal. A photocopy of the appeal application form in the UGC admission handbook could be used as the appeal format. Appeal should be forwarded to the UGC within four weeks from the date of publishing the Cut-off points. (2011/2012 Academic Year)

Sri Lankan University No Additional Intake for 2012/2013


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.
