The Tertiary and Vocational Education Commission emphasized a unique opportunity has been instituted to facilitate professional education tailored to the demands of the job market for both individuals who have successfully passed the G.C.E Ordinary Level Examinations and those who have not.
TVEC’s Registration Accreditation and Quality Management Director Saman Rubasinghe said applicants can initiate the application process even prior to the release of examination results.
He said this programme spans 525 schools countrywide. All candidates who have sat for the G.C.E Ordinary Level Examination are eligible to apply after the Vocational Training Institute issues the relevant newspaper advertisement. All courses have been designed with a focus on the contemporary job market.
Under the conventional practice, the students who fail the G.C.E. Ordinary Level Examination would typically be excluded from the education process. However, during the Premiership of President Ranil Wickremesinghe, the ’13-year continuous education programme’ was introduced, recognizing the need to direct students to vocational education through the school itself to prepare the student community to face future challenges.
Rubasinghe emphasized that through this programme, all students who participated in the G.C.E. Ordinary Level Examinations have been afforded the opportunity to pursue vocational education, regardless of their examination outcomes.
