Education Minister submits
Cabinet Paper
The spoken test will be
conducted separately for each student after the final day of the GCE Ordinary
Level (O/L) examination.
The Education Ministry has
sought Cabinet approval to allocate 20 marks to students for their listening
and spoken abilities of the English language at the G.C.E. Ordinary Level
Examination from next year onwards.
The Ministry has taken
a policy decision to conduct such a test along with the Ordinary Level
Examination. Accordingly, the Ministry, in a Cabinet memorandum submitted
recently, has sought approval to conduct the listening test in the examination
centres on the same day after the written paper for the English language
subject is conducted. It will be done according to a format prepared by a
committee.
The spoken test will be
conducted separately for each student after the final day of the Ordinary Level
examination, or within three days depending on the number of candidates. Twenty
marks will be awarded to students at both the tests.
Cabinet approval has been
sought to make these two tests compulsory for the candidates sitting the exam.
The results of absentees will be withheld.
The Ministry has asked for
Rs.100 million to set up the necessary facilities at exam centres for this
purpose. Besides, another Rs.21 million is sought to be allocated to the
Department of Examination this year for preparatory activities.
The National Education
Commission has recommended these two tests.
