Education Ministry extends online submission period for Grade 6 admissions
The Ministry of Education says the deadline for submitting student applications for Grade 6 admission through the online system has been extended, considering the disaster situation in Sri Lanka.
Issuing a statement, the Ministry said that based on the re‑scrutinized results of the Grade 5 Scholarship Examination, principals have been informed about the extension of the deadline for submitting student applications for Grade 6 admission through the online system, as well as the timeline for appeals.
The re‑scrutinized results of the 2025 Grade 5 Scholarship Examination have now been released, and applications for students whose results have changed were called and entered into the online system by principals starting from November 26, 2025.
Although it was earlier announced that the online submission facility would be deactivated after December 5, 2025, due to the prevailing disaster situation, this deadline has now been extended to December 12, 2025.
Furthermore, the first round of appeals for Grade 6 admissions in 2026 based on the 2025 Scholarship Examination results has not yet commenced, and messages circulating on social media in this regard are false.
After the students selected in the first round are admitted to schools in January 2026, applications for appeals will be called online to fill the remaining vacancies, the Education Ministry added.
