President of the General Student Union of the Ruhuna University Nandika Gunasekara said: “The government has failed to implement any scheme in the education sector. Grade one admissions, printing of text books and holding of public examinations are in a crisis”. He said that a student in the Arts stream has received results under the Commerce stream. It is in fact a miracle in the East. No other successive government since independence had created a crisis in the public examinations in this manner.
“The minister and the institutions responsible for this muddle are making contradictory statements to cheat the people. The Minister of Higher Education should resign without attempting to mislead the people with false excuses. We are determined to launch an island wide campaign against this injustice to the students who sat the examination after years of hard studies,” he said.
The protest lasted for about an hour.
