Applications called for admission to grade 12 of the GCE Advanced Level vocational stream
Applications have been invited for the admission of new students to Grade 12 of the GCE Advanced Level Vocational Stream for the 2026/2027 academic year.
In a statement issued today (25), the Ministry of Education, Higher Education and Vocational Education stated that this stream is implemented with the objective of guaranteeing 13 years of education for students, irrespective of their GCE Ordinary Level examination results.
Accordingly, GCE Ordinary Level examination results will not be considered when admitting students to this stream.
Any student who sat the GCE Ordinary Level examination in 2025 (2026) or within the past three years is eligible to apply.
While pursuing their school education in Grades 12 and 13, students will have the opportunity to obtain an NVQ Level 4 vocational qualification recognised both locally and internationally.
Students will also have the opportunity to study modules aimed at developing soft skills and introducing them to various vocational fields.
Depending on the field selected, the school will refer students to an NVQ Level 4 training programme conducted by a government vocational training institution. This training includes both institutional instruction and practical workplace experience.
Students who successfully complete the training programme will be awarded an NVQ Level 4 certificate, enabling them to directly access local or overseas employment opportunities, higher education, or self-employment (entrepreneurship).
Accordingly, applicants must submit an application form to the principal of the school at which they wish to study before 8 July 2026.
The application form can be downloaded from the Ministry’s website at www.moe.gov.lk.
