Newly Amended Clause 13.8

Universities Act No. 16 of 1978 – Section 25A

Gazette: 2514/04 | 09.11.2026

📢 BEd Qualification – Latest Gazette Amendment

The Sri Lanka Teachers' Service Minute was amended through Extraordinary Gazette No. 2514/04 dated 09 November 2026.

The sixth amendment revises the definition of a Bachelor of Education Graduate under Clause 13.8.

One of the most important changes is the addition of degree-awarding institutions recognised by the Minister responsible for Higher Education under Section 25A of the Universities Act.

The University Grants Commission (UGC) website provides official reference pages for recognised degrees and institutions.

Readers can use the links below to examine the relevant recognition categories.

✅ Newly Added Clause – Section 25A

Clause 13.8 – Bachelor of Education Graduate

🇬🇧 English

The latest amendment additionally includes degree-awarding institutions recognised by the Minister responsible for Higher Education under Section 25A of the Universities Act No. 16 of 1978.

This is an expansion of the categories of institutions included in the definition of a Bachelor of Education Graduate.

🇱🇰 සිංහල

නවතම සංශෝධනය අනුව, 1978 අංක 16 දරන විශ්වවිද්‍යාල පනතේ 25අ වගන්තිය යටතේ උසස් අධ්‍යාපන විෂය භාර අමාත්‍යවරයා විසින් පිළිගනු ලබන උපාධි පිරිනමන ආයතන ද අධ්‍යාපනවේදී උපාධිධාරියා පිළිබඳ 13.8 වගන්තියට අලුතින් ඇතුළත් කර ඇත.

🇱🇰 தமிழ்

புதிய திருத்தத்தின்படி, 1978 ஆம் ஆண்டின் 16 ஆம் இலக்க பல்கலைக்கழகச் சட்டத்தின் 25அ பிரிவின் கீழ் உயர்கல்விக்குப் பொறுப்பான அமைச்சரால் அங்கீகரிக்கப்படும் பட்டம் வழங்கும் நிறுவனங்களும் கல்விமானி பட்டதாரி தொடர்பான 13.8 ஆம் பிரிவில் புதிதாக உள்ளடக்கப்பட்டுள்ளன.

Important: The recognition of an institution alone does not automatically satisfy all requirements of Clause 13.8. The specific BEd degree must also satisfy the four conditions in the Gazette.

🎓 Section 25A – Recognised Degrees

Degrees of Institutions Recognised under Section 25A of the Universities Act No. 16 of 1978

The UGC website provides a dedicated page titled:

Degree Awarding Status Granted by the Ministry of Education – Recognized Degrees

සිංහල: විශ්වවිද්‍යාල පනතේ 25අ වගන්තිය යටතේ පිළිගත් උපාධි පිරිනමන ආයතන හා උපාධි පිළිබඳ තොරතුරු සඳහා ඉහත සබැඳිය භාවිත කරන්න.

📚 Other UGC Recognition References

The following official UGC pages provide additional information about various recognised degree and university categories.

Note: These are separate UGC information categories. Being listed on one of these pages should not be interpreted as automatic eligibility under the newly amended BEd clause.

📋 Other BEd Requirements Remain Unchanged

The latest Gazette also specifies the following requirements:

🎓 04 Years Full-time onsite degree programme, not online.
📚 120 Credits Minimum credits completed within the degree programme.
🏫 10 Weeks Supervised practical teaching training at an eligible school.
📝 06 Credits Research dissertation or report completed within the programme.

අධ්‍යාපනවේදී (BEd) උපාධිය – පිළිගත් ආයතන සහ උපාධි ලැයිස්තුව

2026 නොවැම්බර් 09 දිනැති අංක 2514/04 දරන අති විශේෂ ගැසට් පත්‍රය මගින් ශ්‍රී ලංකා ගුරු සේවා ව්‍යවස්ථාවේ 13.8 වගන්තිය සංශෝධනය කර ඇත.

මෙම නව සංශෝධනයට අනුව විශ්වවිද්‍යාල පනතේ 25අ වගන්තිය යටතේ උසස් අධ්‍යාපන විෂය භාර අමාත්‍යවරයා විසින් පිළිගනු ලබන උපාධි පිරිනමන ආයතන ද ඇතුළත් වේ.

මෙම වගන්තියට අදාළ පිළිගත් උපාධි සහ ආයතන පිළිබඳ තොරතුරු විශ්වවිද්‍යාල ප්‍රතිපාදන කොමිෂන් සභාවේ (UGC) නිල වෙබ් අඩවියෙන් පරීක්ෂා කළ හැකිය.

ඊට අමතරව වෙනත් පිළිගත් උපාධි, බාහිර උපාධි, වෙනත් රාජ්‍ය විශ්වවිද්‍යාල සහ පිළිගත් විදේශ විශ්වවිද්‍යාල පිළිබඳ නිල සබැඳි ද ඉහත දක්වා ඇත.

වැදගත්: UGC ලැයිස්තුවක නම සඳහන් වීම පමණක් BEd සුදුසුකම් සම්පූර්ණ බවට සාක්ෂියක් නොවේ. ගැසට් පත්‍රයේ සඳහන් අනෙකුත් කොන්දේසි ද සම්පූර්ණ කළ යුතුය.

🇱🇰 தமிழ் சுருக்கம்

கல்விமானி (BEd) பட்டம் – அங்கீகரிக்கப்பட்ட நிறுவனங்கள் மற்றும் பட்டங்களின் பட்டியல்

2026 நவம்பர் 09 ஆம் திகதிய 2514/04 ஆம் இலக்க அதிவிசேட வர்த்தமானி மூலம் இலங்கை ஆசிரியர் சேவைப் பிரமாணக் குறிப்பின் 13.8 ஆம் பிரிவு திருத்தப்பட்டுள்ளது.

புதிய திருத்தத்தின்படி, பல்கலைக்கழகச் சட்டத்தின் 25அ பிரிவின் கீழ் உயர்கல்விக்குப் பொறுப்பான அமைச்சரால் அங்கீகரிக்கப்படும் பட்டம் வழங்கும் நிறுவனங்களும் சேர்க்கப்பட்டுள்ளன.

இப்பிரிவுடன் தொடர்புடைய அங்கீகரிக்கப்பட்ட நிறுவனங்கள் மற்றும் பட்டங்கள் பற்றிய தகவல்களை பல்கலைக்கழக மானியங்கள் ஆணைக்குழுவின் (UGC) உத்தியோகபூர்வ இணையத்தளத்தில் பார்வையிடலாம்.

மேலும், ஏனைய அங்கீகரிக்கப்பட்ட பட்டங்கள், வெளிவாரிப் பட்டங்கள், ஏனைய அரச பல்கலைக்கழகங்கள் மற்றும் அங்கீகரிக்கப்பட்ட வெளிநாட்டுப் பல்கலைக்கழகங்கள் தொடர்பான இணைப்புகளும் மேலே வழங்கப்பட்டுள்ளன.

முக்கிய குறிப்பு: UGC பட்டியலில் பெயர் இடம்பெற்றிருப்பது மட்டும் BEd தகுதி முழுமையாகப் பூர்த்தி செய்யப்பட்டுள்ளதைக் குறிக்காது. வர்த்தமானியில் குறிப்பிடப்பட்டுள்ள ஏனைய நிபந்தனைகளும் பூர்த்தி செய்யப்பட வேண்டும்.

⚠️ Important – Before Checking Your BEd

Institutional recognition and BEd eligibility are not the same.

Check whether the institution and specific degree are recognised under the applicable legal provision.

Also confirm the duration, onsite study requirement, credits, supervised teaching practice and research component.

In particular, recognition of an external, online or foreign degree does not by itself establish compliance with the onsite BEd requirements under Clause 13.8.

For an individual eligibility decision, seek confirmation from the relevant competent authority.

Sri Lanka Teachers' Service Minute

Amendment No. 06 | Gazette 2514/04

09 November 2026

📢 Latest BEd Gazette Amendment 2026

The Ministry of Education, Higher Education and Vocational Education has published the sixth amendment to the Service Minute of the Sri Lanka Teachers' Service through Extraordinary Gazette No. 2514/04 dated 09 November 2026.

The latest amendment revises Clause 13.8, "Bachelor of Education Graduate" and expands the categories of degree-awarding institutions covered by the definition.

It follows Amendment No. 05, published through Extraordinary Gazette No. 2507/02 dated 21 September 2026.

Important: The amendment concerns the definition of a Bachelor of Education Graduate in the Teachers' Service Minute. It is not, by itself, a new teacher recruitment announcement.

✅ What Exactly Has Changed?

Amended Clause: 13.8 – Bachelor of Education Graduate

PREVIOUS – Amendment No. 05
Gazette 2507/02 – 21.09.2026

The definition covered BEd degrees obtained from universities established under the Universities Act or degree-awarding institutions/universities established through other special Acts of Parliament, subject to the specified degree requirements.

LATEST – Amendment No. 06
Gazette 2514/04 – 09.11.2026

The latest amendment additionally includes degree-awarding institutions recognised by the Minister responsible for Higher Education under Section 25A of the Universities Act.

🔎 Newly Added Provision

English: Degree-awarding institutions recognised by the Minister responsible for Higher Education under Section 25A of the Universities Act are now additionally included in Clause 13.8.

සිංහල: විශ්වවිද්‍යාල පනතේ 25අ වගන්තිය යටතේ උසස් අධ්‍යාපන විෂය භාර අමාත්‍යවරයා විසින් පිළිගනු ලබන උපාධි පිරිනමන ආයතන ද 13.8 වගන්තියට අලුතින් ඇතුළත් කර ඇත.

தமிழ்: பல்கலைக்கழகச் சட்டத்தின் 25அ பிரிவின் கீழ் உயர்கல்விக்குப் பொறுப்பான அமைச்சரால் அங்கீகரிக்கப்படும் பட்டம் வழங்கும் நிறுவனங்களும் 13.8 ஆம் பிரிவில் புதிதாக சேர்க்கப்பட்டுள்ளன.

Key point: The latest amendment broadens the categories of institutions covered by the definition. It does not remove the four academic and practical training requirements.

📘 BEd Degree Requirements – Clause 13.8

Under the latest Gazette, a Bachelor of Education degree must satisfy the following four criteria:

🎓 4 Years Full-time onsite degree programme. The Gazette specifically states non-online.
📚 120 Credits At least 120 credits must be completed within the degree programme.
🏫 10 Weeks Practical teaching training at a government national or provincial school, or a government-approved private school, under qualified supervision or a panel of supervisors.
📝 6 Credits Completion of a research dissertation or report carrying at least six credits within the degree programme.

These four conditions remain unchanged in the latest amendment.

✅ අවම වශයෙන් සන්ධාර 06ක් සහිත පර්යේෂණ නිබන්ධනයක් හෝ වාර්තාවක් සම්පූර්ණ කර තිබීම.

සැලකිය යුතුයි: ඉහත කොන්දේසි හතර නව සංශෝධනයෙන් වෙනස් කර නොමැත. අනෙකුත් කරුණු හා කොන්දේසි ද නොවෙනස්ව පවතී.
