Academic year for schools begins on March 24, 2023

25 December, 2022

The academic year for schools for 2023 will begin on March 24 next year and the Education Ministry has decided not to hold term tests for primary classes of Government schools countrywide. Instead, the students will face exercise-based activities to evaluate their creative skills.

Students will be motivated to join professionally accepted vocational training courses at Government Technical Colleges or State University education according to their personal choice after the GCE (OL) examination, Education Minister Dr. Susil Premayanatha told the Sunday Observer. The students will be given less holidays and more academic work to cover their delayed or missed academic activities by December next year.

The Minister said free uniform material, free text books and free mid- day meals will be provided to one million students of 7,900 remote schools countrywide next year and Rs. 5 to 6 billion will be allocated for school and university education next year.

“Discipline and politeness of university students will be given priority,” the Minister added.
