The Eastern Province ceremony of the President’s Fund A/L Excellence Awards organised to recognise district-level top achievers of the 2023/2024 GCE Advanced Level Examination will be held today (27) at 9 a.m. at the Swami Vipulananda Faculty of Fine Arts, Batticaloa.
Under this initiative, 60 top-performing students who excelled in the A/L examination in 2023/2024 from each district, representing various subject streams, will be awarded financial scholarships and certificates in recognition of their academic excellence.
This province-based recognition program was first launched in the Northern Province with its inaugural event in Kilinochchi, followed by the second event in Matara.
The upcoming ceremony in Batticaloa marks the third in the series, focusing on the Eastern Province. 360 top-performing students from the districts of Ampara, Batticaloa and Trincomalee will be awarded. Speaker of Parliament Dr. Jagath Wickramaratne is expected to attend the event as the chief guest.
The President’s Fund plans to expand this initiative to other provinces in the near future.
