The Secretary to the Ministry of Education, Higher Education, and Vocational Education, Nalaka Kaluwawa, confirmed that the remaining subjects of the G.C.E. Advanced Level examination, postponed due to the country’s recent severe weather, will take place in early January 2026.
Regarding school reopenings, Kaluwawa stated that after assessing conditions at provincial and district levels, schools in regions unaffected by transport interruptions, power outages, or communication disruptions will reopen on December 16. Reopening plans for schools in more heavily impacted areas will be determined in coordination with provincial and district authorities.
He added that higher education institutions, including universities, National Colleges of Education, and vocational training centers that were not impacted by the disaster, are expected to resume operations on December 8. Heads of institutions facing operational difficulties will be granted the authority to decide on appropriate reopening dates for their campuses.
