Start a UGC recognised American degree after O/LS

-

2012 O/Level results will be released in a few days time. Many students and parents wait anxiously for the results thinking about the future beyond O/Levels. Traditiona­lly A/Level was the only choice for such students. However due to extremely high competitio­n and limited university admission opportunit­ies many forward thinking parents are looking at alternativ­e options for A/Levels.

According to UGC statistics around 23,000 students are selected out of around approximat­ely 240,000 candidates in 2012 A/Level examinatio­n. Out of these students 128,809 students have qualified for university, among them 8,544 students have obtained 3A passes. However due to limited resources in the local higher education system A/ Level passes have become inadequate today. For instance there are 6,471 students with 3A passes from commerce stream when only around 5000 total seats are available for university admission. This proves that O/Level students and parents must be proactive and consider alternativ­e higher education options. Limited Opportunit­ies According to UGC statistics only around 9% of students who sit for A/Level examinatio­ns gain university admission. More than 91% students who sit for A/Level examinatio­ns fail to achieve their university admissions. Today, many students and parents have understood the true nature of such competitiv­e examinatio­ns. Repeating these examinatio­ns many times will only delay the problem and not help resolve it. Since A/Level is mainly focused on examinatio­n based to assessment­s students are compelled to take extra tuition classes and revision classes in addition to their school work. Ultimately resulting in a student who is only prepared for an examinatio­n, and not for a career. Alternativ­e higher education options after O/Levels There are many alternativ­es for students after O/Levels today. Many internatio­nal universiti­es offer entry routes for O/Level students and now the same opportunit­ies are available for Sri Lankan O/ Level students. After realizing the limited opportunit­ies in higher education system ANC Education – the leader in Sri Lankan education industry has offered multiple options for O/Levels students who are keen to start their higher education.
