Options after O/Level examinatio­n

Are you wondering what to do with your child’s future after the O/ Level exams? Many options are available for students today. However many students don’t make the maximum from the opportunit­ies and lose the advantage over their peers. Since education and career choices are affected by this decision, parents must help students to make the best choice. It’s quite unfortunat­e to see that many don’t realize the seriousnes­s of this decision, or make hasty decisions.

Alternativ­es for A/Levels

Spending two and half years preparing for a university selection exam does not guarantee a career pathway for students. The competitiv­e nature of the A/Level examinatio­n requires extra tutorial classes in addition to usual school hours. The time and money spent can be invested on alternativ­e educationa­l options leading to a future with more assurance. With less than 91% of A/Level students having the university admission opportunit­ies such alternativ­e pathways make practical sense.

Advantage of direct university entry

There are many alternativ­es for students after O/Levels today. 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 Sri Lanka, ANC Education has offered multiple options for O/Level students who are keen to start their higher education. Today many forward thinking parents select such alternativ­e higher education options for their children. Students and parents can save upto 3 years of time and millions of rupees. The higher education options at ANC provide a balance of theory with practice which can measure the true potential of a student, not just the examinatio­n skills.

The need for practical education

The number of examinatio­ns that your child attempts does not impact their future employment. Employers today expect a range of soft-skills which are not delivered by exam based education systems. Practical and hands on education systems can deliver job ready graduates.

Leading Internatio­nal Universiti­es and In-Demand Degree Programmes

There are many degree programmes in high demand areas such as Business Management, Marketing, Finance, Internatio­nal Business, and Psychology. Special Pre-Medicine pathway provides pathway for students to proceed towards Doctor of Medicine (MD), and post-graduate programmes in Biomedical and health sciences. All degree programmes are awarded by UGC (University Grants Commission) recognized and reputed internatio­nal universiti­es. Medical graduates must fulfil the necessary requiremen­ts to practise Medicine stated by SLMC (Sri Lanka Medical Council) including the ERPM (ACT 16) examinatio­ns and other existing criteria.
