School to a British Degree
Each year Sri Lanka facilitates approximately 24000 students into the 14 local universities and 8 other campuses and Institutes. This is from the 280,000 students who apply each year for the G.C.E A/L examination. Though 61% (approximately 150,000) of the total candidates who sit for the G.C.E A/L become eligible for the university entrance, the actual percentage who receives university admission and therefore enters the local university system is less than 10%. There is another 50% of the students eligible for the universities and not received admission and another 40% of candidates even without that benefit.
