GCE O/L, A/L exam results...

A 2-year Secondary Education programme is intended for students who fail to obtain the required grades at the O/L Exam. This would ensure 13 years of unbroken schooling for every student.

Arrangemen­ts have been made to provide these students with a 2-year Secondary Education course through the National Education Qualificat­ion (NEQ).

The Govt also intends to increase the percentage of students admitted to Primary Education to 90% for 2017. In 2016 the target was 88%.

To accommodat­e the increase in students, a plan is in place to increase the number of National schools. This will be be done by absorbing 1AB schools functionin­g under the Provincial Councils, to the central govt.

Currently there are 353 National schools functionin­g under the line ministry.
