Dec 29, Colombo: University lecturers in Sri Lanka say confidence in the examinations system of the country has been lost following the controversy surrounding the highly competitive GCE Advanced Level results released by the Examinations Department.
President of the Federation of University Teachers' Association (FUTA), Dr. Nirmal Ranjith Dewasiri has said the government cannot dismiss the issue of releasing wrong A/Level results as a minor issue.
He has observed that it was a grave problem for the students, who have received results that are in the mid-level range.
"It is a dangerous situation if the students begin to lose confidence in the examinations system," Dewasiri has noted.
Referring to the comment, made by Higher Education Minister S.B. Dissanayaka that the results were released hurriedly due to the President�s intervention, Dewasiri has said it proved the inefficiency and irresponsibility of state institutions.
