G.C.E A/L is one of the most important hurdles for students in Sri Lanka. Many students depend on this exam to decide their future as it is the final challenge a student has to overcome to secure a place in a Government University. It is the same reason why A/L has become the most competitive exam in the country. So like every year, this year also we recently received the results of the students who sat for the exam in the year 2020. This time the usual timelines, practices and patterns were a little deviated due to the Covid-19 restrictions in the country. However, the govt. managed to conduct the A/L examination prepared with extra precautions and the students managed to face it. Therefore, the students who managed to get through have done their best. We take full pleasure in pointing out the Island Rankers of the examination as they are truly talented, hardworking and deserving individuals.
