UNP Deputy Leader Sajith Premadasa yesterday urged the education authorities to cancel the GCE advanced level examination results and subject all answer scripts to a process of re correction to ensure justice to the students who had been affected by the errors in results. Mr. Premadasa in a statement said this was essential so that the children who sat for the examination could plan their future effectively. The UNP Deputy Leader said education authorities including the Minister and the Commissioner General of Examinations should take the responsibility for this blunder.
“One cannot take this lightly as serious blunders have taken place when preparing results,” he said. He cited an example where a student from the science stream had been given grades for arts subjects.

He said everything including district rankings and Z score had been messed up this year putting the children in a difficulty. Mr. Premadasa charged that this came as a result of holding the GCE A level examination to suit a political agenda.
He also took the education authorities to task for extending the term of the present Commissioner of Examinations recently though his term ended two months ago.
