Owing to the egregious blunders committed in the GCE adv. Level examination results , changing of muddled up results and the lunatic Z score markings , the GCE adv. Level students who sat the exam in 2011 had to face undue hardships and acute sufferings for which the architect is the Govt. examination Dept. Yesterday , (26) , the National University youth Front and Lanka Teachers service Association with the participation of a large number of students staged a massive demonstration in front of the University commission Board.
At these protests , a story related by one girl student to the media brought tears to the eyes of the journalists . She has obtained three ‘A’s , but under the new lunatic scheme , she had been deprived of a place in the University. She was overtaken with emotion and said , she has to sit again for the exam to be held in a week because of the eccentricity prevailing in the Ministry and the education Dept. But she hasn’t the wherewithal to sit again, she sobbed .
There were many students who were in the same predicament who participated in yesterday’s protests. UNP M.P. Harin Fernando speaking on behalf of the National University youth front who organized these protests said , a student who obtained a result of two As and one C , was placed at 25th position based on all Island results , but a student who secured three As has been placed in the 250th position on the all Island result , he pointed out. Hence , a grave injustice has been committed on these students. We shall therefore not abandon our struggle until justice is done to these innocent children , he emphasized.
Mahinda Jayasinghe of the Lanka teachers Associations who had met the Secretary to the Commission said , the Secretary is totally in the dark on this subject , and has stated , they are only implementing the court directive. We tried to make it clear to him by reiterating that the SC did not order to perpetrate injustice on the children.
With such stupid pompous Secretaries , we cannot expect justice . Yet , we will not yield and we will carry on our struggle until justice is meted out and every child gets fair treatment . We will not look back in our forward campaign , Jayasinghe asserted.
Meanwhile Minister S B Dissanayake who attended the cabinet meeting revealing cabinet decisions said , these students will be given an opportunity to sit the exam even four times in order to enable them to enter Universities. This year’s GCE exam cannot be postponed , he added. This Minister must be an idiot or a lunatic to say, a child can sit the exam four times , while in the same breath saying this year’s exam cannot be postponed . How can this child whom he expects to sit the exam four times complete it within this year without waiting until next year ?
