The Ministry of Education has called for applications for student admissions to Grade 12 under the Advanced Level Vocational Stream for the 2025 academic year.

The admission process does not consider whether a student has passed or failed the G.C.E. Ordinary Level (O/L) examination, making it accessible to a wider group of students.

Under this stream, students who enroll in Grade 12 will proceed to complete a National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) Level 04 course in Grade 13, across one of 28 vocational subject areas including Health & Social Care, Fashion Designing, Graphic Designing, Automobile Studies, Construction Studies, Computer Hardware & Networking, and more.

The list of eligible schools and the application forms (in Sinhala and Tamil) can be downloaded via the Ministry website at: [https://moe.gov.lk/2025/05/37984/ 

For further information, the Ministry has requested applicants to contact 011 278 7136 or 011 278 6746 between 9.00 a.m. and 4.00 p.m. on weekdays.
