Students Who Fail GCE O/L Mathematics Twice Can Continue A/L Studies

Students who fail GCE O/L Mathematics twice can continue GCE A/L studies under Ministry of Education Circular 26/2014


-niru

MINISTRY OF EDUCATION CIRCULAR 26/2014

Can a Student Who Fails GCE O/L Mathematics Twice Continue A/L Studies?

Clarification regarding school status, the third examination opportunity and the 2027 GIT application process.

Important issue: Some students admitted to GCE Advanced Level classes have failed the GCE Ordinary Level Mathematics subject for a second time. This has created uncertainty when submitting applications for the 2027 General Information Technology Examination.

What Does Circular No. 26/2014 State?

According to Ministry of Education Circular No. 26/2014, a student who has been admitted to GCE Advanced Level studies should not be removed from school merely because he or she has failed to obtain a pass in GCE O/L Mathematics for a second time.

The student should be granted a third opportunity to sit for the GCE O/L Mathematics examination.

YES

The student may continue to be treated as a school student until the third opportunity is provided.

Can the Student Continue Advanced Level Education?

A student who fails Mathematics for the second time may continue his or her Advanced Level education in school while preparing for the third attempt.

Arts Stream
Bio Systems Technology Stream
  • The student should not automatically be removed from school.
  • A third opportunity to pass GCE O/L Mathematics should be provided.
  • Until then, the student continues to be regarded as a school student.
  • The student may continue Advanced Level studies in an eligible stream.

Impact on the 2027 GIT Application

Students currently studying for the 2027 GCE Advanced Level examination who have failed GCE O/L Mathematics twice should not automatically lose their school status solely for that reason.

When processing their GIT applications, schools should consider the provisions of Circular No. 26/2014 and any subsequent official instructions issued by the Ministry of Education or the Department of Examinations.

குறித்த மாணவருக்கு சாதாரண தர கணிதப் பரீட்சையில் மூன்றாவது முறையாகத் தோற்றுவதற்கான சந்தர்ப்பம் வழங்கப்பட வேண்டும். அந்தச் சந்தர்ப்பம் வழங்கப்படும் வரை அவர் பாடசாலை மாணவராகவே கருதப்பட்டு, கலைத்துறை அல்லது உயிர்முறைத் தொழில்நுட்பத்துறை உள்ளிட்ட தகுதியான உயர்தரப் பிரிவில் தனது கல்வியைத் தொடர முடியும்.

Important Notice: This article is a general explanation based on Ministry of Education Circular No. 26/2014. School authorities should also check whether any later circular, amendment or official instruction has been issued regarding GCE A/L admission, school status or GIT applications.
