Hon. (Dr.) Nalinda Jayatissa - Minister of Health and Mass Media and Chief Government Whip
Hon. (Dr.) Nalinda Jayatissa noted that while no students passed the relevant examination the previous year, the latest results showed 140 out of 225 candidates passing, around 63 percent, which did not indicate the same level of concern. He stated that the Ministry would refer the matter to the Council of Legal Education and allow it to decide on any further action.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Yes. We should consider that last year none of the students who sat for that examination passed. However, if the same had happened this time as well—if out of 225 only 10 had passed—we could confidently say there is a problem here. But 140 have passed—about 63 percent. Therefore, at this point, what I can say from the Ministry’s side is this, Hon. Member: we too will refer this matter to the Council of Legal Education. Let us allow them the opportunity to make a decision on this.
¶ 02 Thank you very much.
