Future of Grade 5 Scholarship : PM clears doubt

Education Minister and Prime Minister Harini Amarasuriya says there are no immediate plans to cancel the Grade 05 Scholarship Examination.

Addressing the Parliament today, the PM pointed out that the examination cannot be abolished immediately, as it could only be carried out in line with certain other reforms.

She further said that steps will be taken to minimise the pressure on students sitting for the examination, and that this will be done by 2028 and 2029.

PM Harini Amarasuriya made the remarks in response to a question raised by opposition MP Rohini Kumari Wijeratne in Parliament today.
