The minimum attendance percentage for school candidates applying for the G.C.E. Advanced Level 2023 Examination will be 40 percent only for this year. The Education Ministry has informed that school attendance percentage for students appearing for the Advanced Level 2023 Examination this year, will be considered as 40 percent for 2023 only.
The Education Ministry has issued necessary instructions to the principals noting that students should not lose the opportunity to appear as school applicants for the Advanced Level Examination due to problems related to school attendance.
This percentage was 80 per cent a few years ago but there wasn’t a proper mechanism to evaluate students’ attendance.
However the present percentage of 40 percent may increase by next year, an Education Ministry source said.
