    No machan, im not agreeing with u. The main fact is that, Sri Lanka has less facilities and space for education. If i drag medical college for the topic, there'll be only around 1350 student vacancies per year. But per year there are around 2 lakhs of bio students who sit for ALs. Even the exam gets easier, only 1350 get the chance. And bro, our papers are stranderd. Coz this is the much you must struggle to study. You must study hard. Govt. cant expect that all the failures come to forces. Most of them (90%) goes elsewhere. Some migrates. Some do computer related jobs or courses. The education system of Sri Lanka was the same from 2000 (New Syllabus). Only thing is, in a specific year, even the exam was hard or easy, they students to fill every vacancy in the campus-(lets say 1300 for bio, then exam lesi wunath amaru wunath udinma inna 1300 athulata yanawa). Thing is comparing to other countries, we dont have very much facilities for free education. Thats the reason of the lowered amount of intake of students. BUT, Mahinda or Ranil or whoever, it was same.
    About OLs, you got a point. But machan most of todays children, do CIMA, BIT, AAC, etc; or just go for a job if they fail. Most of them redo for 2nd shy. But macho normally, forces walata yanawanam yanne, e gana kalin indalama intend ekak thiyaganipu, ekata AsAwak thiyena aya neda? For example, you don't just 'let yourself' to do medicine or engineering or arts or commerce? Am I correct? You select, choose your way of future ne. And you can't tell Forces are full of matta s. There are even doctors ne. Macho igena ganna eka, uwamanAwak thiyenawanam oni kenekta karaNa puluwan. You must try hard to pass for the best. That's the spirit.
    About the OL paper, paper has been created by a panel of professors, in collobration with a set of psychologists. I can't see any connectivity of the OL paper to the forces. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I see you have posted a serious statement questionier about the Sri Lankan Examination System :-)

    Yes bro, before the exam, lot of students think they are thorough in the syllabus/i.e. they have studied well. After the exam too lot of students think they did the exam well. I can see from your words that you are less experienced in the Sri Lankan Advanced Level field. BUT, anyway bro, for UNI's, thana denne diya yuththata. Yes, Ministers la lamainwa ganna hora wada karapu awastha thiyenawa. But i don't think there was any need to reduce the marks of the other children. Maybe. But no need i hope. But even they did not select for Medicine, there are many other sides-Vetinery, Dentistry, Agri etc; Forces will not a "everyone's last resort" place. If a specific person did study very hard day and night, he has a future machan. Our parent generation did it. All the professors, doctors, engineers did it. Why we cant? Its only today's generation do not do much work and just blame for the system. Do yourself some pastpapers and correct your answers with the exact marking scheme points. Do every Question and time yourself. Can you get an 'A' pass? You have to study a lot. Dont blame the system. It just exhibits your stupidity. and Prove your points with proof.

    You think i'm stupid?

    I did my A/Ls twice.
    this time i got BBC i can go Physical science if i want to.I studied well enough.Who are you to question my intelligence?In fact I did all the pass papers from 1980 in Math and all the pass papers from 1995 in Phy and Chemistry.I got 45 mcqs phy correct in my MCQ paper this time.U can't say its wrong (A/L wibhage mcq paper eka gedara geniyanna puluwan.kathira gahanne wena kolayaka)so i should got a A for Phy.I was expecting A pass for it.But i got B.I checked the essay type questions too i should have got at least 50 out if 60 to them.structured we can predict.but say i did it horribly wrong.i only requrire 24 points out of 40 from it.

    Ppl like u can say anything.U don't accept wht is right.U ppl want to believe wht u think is right.

    your last line applies to you too bro ;) ... if you really sure about your A ... put your question papers to re-correction ... obviously when you expect high marks after examz & then after u gt a lower one ... ur mind is imbalance ... i've face such a situation too! when i got my O/L results!!! i expected "A" pass for history bt i gt a "B" ...

    Hey bro, if so why didn't you put recorrections? It's the imbalanciveness of the mind bro. Thats common for everyone. But are you trying to say that Department of Elections/Election Commisioner or etc; reduced it to B from A? On what purpose? Why they worry to reduce yours? Btw, I hope u know that, in the structured and essay, unlike at OLs, at ALs marks are given for the exact points and the exact words, not for the ideas. And each exact point or exact word may only add marks starting from 0.1 It seems you've had an miscalculation.

    hey...so ur my age it seems....anyway machan...let me tell u this....if u get 45 for physics MCQ, thn u hv scored 37.5 for d whole ppr n u will need another 37.5 out of 50 for d other ppr to obtain an A, u c d glitch in dis is...u really cnt predict d structured one ezly....u thnk u cn..bt bliv me..u cnt....n of course there myt b certain mistakes u hv committed in d 2nd ppr also...evn if u thnk u did eveythng perfect....
    bt on d other hand....there certainly cn b a mistake made by d marker....generally it is a very thin possibility...bt it myt hv happend to u...so itz worth a recorrection.....

    well mister..... tell me have done ur A/Ls ?I'm not saying anything against the SL army.But I'm here explaining from wht I hear from reasonable sources.

    If you really want to know usually they used 3 teachers to mark a single paper.1 to mark first 2nd to check it 3rd to add the total.This year they used only one.And that certain person also was not soo much experienced.
    Yeah i know u will say its due to the teacher's strike.But the truth Y the gov didn't act soo well to it is the reason i had said above.
    U can believe me if you want.But if u don't believe me then its not my probzzzz....
    I have done local A/L and I clearly knew that it's getting tougher.
    But the thing here is you don't have any evidance or proof to support your opinion.
    So I have to say that you are another person who is spreading a famous rumor among the Elakiri community.
    Just becouse you trust your Physics teacher we are not supposed to do the same. So best thing is keep that trust in you mind itself without spreading.
    But definitly I trust our Army Commander than you or your Physics teacher.

    As I said earlier, the number of new comers to the SL Army has increased. This article is from S. Observer dated 14 December,

    http://www.sundayobserver.lk/2008/12/14/sec03.asp
    ----QUOTE----
    The Sri Lanka Army has recruited soldiers at an average of 3,500 per month enabling to increase its strength to more than 168,000 as of now. Following the Pooneryn victory the youth enrollment in the Army increased in the month of November, with 3,900 joining.
    ------------------------

    O/L was on December but still 3900 have joined SL Army in November (higher than the avarage per month)

    if it is true or false don't talk like this, without prove with evdence. cos lot of ppl try to stop this war against the LTTE terrorist.
    and I dont think this is true? SLA no needs going to that level :)
