The Ministry of Education has issued a notice on the admission process of state and state-approved private schools in Sri Lanka for the year 2024.
Accordingly, admission of children to Grade 1 will be conducted only in accordance with the circular issued by the Education Ministry, while the ministry will not be issuing letters of admission.
The Education Ministry further said school Principals will conduct interviews and grant admission to students.
Admission of children to Grade 6 will be based on the exam results of the Grade 5 Scholarship Examination.
Students requiring admission to schools, except for Grades 1,5, and 6, are requested to hand in their filled application forms to the relevant school.
School principals are instructed to follow the ministry circular for admissions, conduct interviews and grant admission based on the vacancies in the school.
The Education Ministry further said that the list of selected students must thereafter be sent to the ministry for approval. (NewsWire)
