Hon. Hesha Withanage Ankumbura Arachchi raised a scheduling conflict affecting University of Colombo BA Faculty students, whose convocation on 22 May coincides with the Law College Evidence and Procedure examination. He requested the Minister of Education to discuss the matter with the Vice-Chancellor and make a slight adjustment to the convocation date so students are not forced to choose between the two.

¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, at this moment I wish to draw the attention of our Hon. Minister of Education to the following: The BA Faculty Convocation of the University of Colombo is scheduled for the 22nd of this month. On the same day, those students also have the Law College Evidence and Procedure paper. These clash. Students will be forced to drop one. I kindly request that, after discussing with the Vice-Chancellor of the University, the date be adjusted slightly.
