Education Minister Susil Premajayantha yesterday said
that a certificate of proficiency would be issued to all students who
scored over 80 marks in the Grade Five Scholarship examination.
The minister told Parliament that the existing system of categorising
students as ‘passed’ or ‘failed’ on the basis of cut-off marks used to
select students to popular schools affected children and their parents
mentally. He was responding to query raised by JVP MP Anura Kumara
Dissanayake. (SI)
