An 80-year-old man sitting for the 2024 (2025) GCE Ordinary Level Examination has appealed to meet Education Minister and Prime Minister Harini Amarasuriya, after expressing dissatisfaction over the Mathematics examination paper.
Speaking to the media, the elderly man said students are provided papers for the mathematics subject, curated for engineers.
“Previously, separate maths exam papers were provided to students from the arts, commerce and engineering fields. However, now papers curated for engineers are being provided for all students. This is unfair and has been going on for years,” he pointed out.
The elderly man urged the Education authorities to recommence the system of providing maths question papers curated for the subject fields, instead of a common paper.
He further called for the tuition system to be abolished, stating that tuition teachers must be paid more and be recruited to teach at schools. (Newswire)
